Feeling a little touchy this morning? Dude, you need to lighten up. 
Personal preference is a big deal, and just because some people don't 
like the way you customized KDE for RH, including me, is no big deal. 

Yes, we know that a lot of effort and work went into this, and there are 
others out there who I am sure appreciate those efforts. But sniping on 
a mailing list only leaves a bad taste, and worse, reflects badly on 
your employer Redhat.

Promote Linux, promote choice!
