just write the page on techbase, and link it at *that* point. that was, after 
all, the actual issue. then explain why you've offered it.

and yes, i think knowing how to have a branch and a trunk install in parallel 
is useful. i'm sure many others would appreciate that information as well.

this doesn't require discussion, much less a big thread on kde-devel going 
back and forth and arguing irrelevant points. some tips for future attempts 
at overcoming points of disagreement:

* opening with an insult does not help get resolution, it just annoys people; 
worse it risks people getting distracted e.g. discussing wikipedia in this 
case (which is 100% irrelevant)

* this is probably the wrong list for this thread, but then it's probably hard 
to find a better one without digging a bit (the www list is probably 
the "right one)

* including half of a conversation (i don't see logixoul's response, if any, 
in there) is half as good as including the whole one (which may mean waiting 
until there is a whole conversation before forwarding it on to a list like 
this one =)
