Well, English is not my native language. If your description is what he=20
actually means then I totally misunderstood it and I am sorry. :-)=20

Sure it does! Thanks!
There are too many people who demand and complain a lot but do not=20
contribute anything. Instead they attack the folks who actually do the work=
=2E=20
This is especially true for KDE. It will be even more true for QT 4.5,=20
because FreeBSD is now an officially unsupported platform ('thanks' to Noki=
a).=20
So it will be even more hard to port and maintain this stuff in the future.
Many users want everything right now but nobody but very few actually do th=
e=20
jobs. And THIS is extremely frustrating and annoying.
That is the message I intended to say. ;-)=20
