Nobody's hurting my feelings about where they have taken KOrganizer, or any
of the other bits of code I have worked on over the last six years.  I'm
grateful that Cornelius was "there when I needed him" to take over the
project, really move it along, and not let it rot.  That's what would have
happened to it if it hadn't been open source!

For the record, the "real job" does involve working on Open Source
programming every day -- I'm the Director of OS Engineering at Red Hat.
