Anyone can have a bad day and wind up in a situation of mouth in mouth 
in before brain engaged. Been there, bought the shirt, gave it to the 
Salvation Army. In fact my original response in regards to Ralf's post 
was not the nicest, for which I apologize to the list. I won't swear 
that you won't run into a curmudgeon once in a while, but if you do it's 
best to ignore and move on.

The Kubuntu list is VERY quiet. Perhaps it is like my own experience. 
Kubuntu just works.
