Should I really comment on this crap from people I've never heard of before 
and who did nothing for KDE? There's nothing like a collapse, we just lack 
people and we were fixing bugs - hence the delays. But I'm sure you all know 
that...

Who says KOffice failed?

No idea what they're talking about... Oh, they probably mean the bright guy 
whom I refused to give a CVS account. This "talented" translator was doing at 
least 4 grammatical and syntactical errors in one sentence.

Is there anything to add? I surely welcome the KDAB supporting David and if 
anybody raises his/her hands (from the real koffice developers), I'll just 
step back.
