Correct, I was mistaken on that point.


I bother to answer this for two reasons.  First is that I generally prefer
to speak for myself thanks.  No disrespect Peter but I disagree with you
on a number of other issues and I would rather not like to get opinions
mixed up any more than already happens.

The other reason (and why this really may not matter) comes down to either
a transient mail problem or someone in KDE acting in very bad faith.  My
last several messages to this list have been rejected and returned 552:
Message blocked.  Now that I have seen another message come through safely
I can determine one of two things:

	1. the problem is fixed
	2. the problem isn't a problem, but rather a deliberate action
	   taken to silence a critic who can demonstrate clear wrongdoing
	   in past actions taken by the project, which that same project
	   would rather have swept under the rug for all time.

I guess we'll know which when this message is either delivered to the list
or is bounced.
