It's nothing to do with Nationalism; it's something I saw that made me laugh. 
If you don't share my sense of humour, that's your problem, not mine.

If the list admin makes a rule that no-one is allowed to include *anything* 
in their @mail.kde.org emails (even their sigs) that might cause offence to 
anyone else, in any way, shape or form, then I won't use it *here*. But I 
think that would be a sad day where facism would finally have its victory.

I'm fortunate enough to live in a part of the world where freedom of 
expression and the right to have opinions and a sense of humour are allowed. 
Others are not so fortunate. I pray though, that one day everyone will be 
able to enjoy such freedoms. [or does "praying" offend you too!]

Maybe you should also contact the creators of the BibleTime project for 
daring to use KDE software to promote their religion. Or perhaps this piece 
of software I saw on apps.kde.com today doesn't have your seal of approval:

[ManifestoStudy]
"ManifestoStudy aims to provide a set of libraries and modules for studying 
Marxist writings. Currently it provides a simple application to read the 
Communist Manifesto in text mode in several languages."

You must be fuming at that one. A piece of "political" software, written for 
KDE *and* mentioned on kde.com. How did that one slip through your 
censorship net!?

Sorry Friedrich, but I won't be complying with your narrow minded 
interpretation of my sense of humour.

Apologies to everyone else for OT posting, but needs must at times.

Cheers,
Sean
[who was going to change his email sig this week anyway, because he was bored 
with it, but will now leave it untouched for another few days]

Going into a war without France is like going deer hunting without an 
accordion player.
