Just to jump on the train... Really, great thanks to you all!
As I am a developer too, I know that there aren't many people who actually
thank you for your hard work, but who are pretty fast at filing bug reports.
There's so much open source software out in the world that doesn't earn the
attention and respect it deserves (I'm not talking about me here), and Linux,
KDE and Qt are my absolute favourites. Day for day, I'm using millions and
millions lines of code without thinking how much sweat and blood people have
put into it (not to mention screaming at the compiler ;-)). Talking about this
is only like a drop in the bucket, but for God's sake, I really appreciate
your work!
God bless You!
I remain respectfully yours,
Steffen
(PS: Don't take it too serious.)
