Sorry, I didn't mean to say that she was a bad journalist. Overall she has 
given KDE some very nice coverage, especially in the accessibility article. \
I  just meant to say that she, like all time-pressed journalists out for \
the  story, needs to be given a simple, unambiguous message to be safe, and \
she  has on occasion run some interesting lines :-) But then that's a \
consequence  of reporting, rather than investigative journalism... you \
don't get the time  to work out the real, full story.

Not only that, but it feeding the three clear points makes life *much* \
easier  for journalists, unless they're digging for something, so you'll \
keep better  relations with them if you feed them what they want on a plate \
;-)

Regards,
Tom
