Do  you actually know what you said is true.  Or is it because he doesn't own 
a big company that you think his thoughts are not relevant.  I actually don't 
know the answer, but I do know the man you are judging.  He is worthy of 
respect and is a major contributor to this list and the Kubuntu experience.  
Who are you?  What do you do to help?

Is Odd your real name?  Why don't you at least present your credentials, so 
that we can better consider your ideas?

All I have ever heard from Eberhard is help.  All I have ever heard from you 
is complaint and discontent.  I may not be worthy to make input, but I am 
justified in standing up for someone who, even if he were wrong (and I am not 
saying that), he deserves a little respect.  I don't have the same opinion of 
you.
