Oh my. Yes, I know you like KDE. That's OK. But please, why do you feel you have seize every opportunity to express that you think that the KDE approach in exposing as many options as possible to the user is better than the GNOME approach where we don't want to show too many options? Everyone and his dog knows by now that you like to have many options and thus are into KDE. You constant complaining and bitching about GNOME is completely pointless -- since you don't even use it yourself. You made your choices, and probably have good reasons for it. Fine. No need for constantly complaining about the choices the other camp makes. Please, grow up and don't try to make everything a fight between KDE and GNOME, neither directly nor between the lines!
