many other posting in "users" and "developers".
Especially "developers"!! Why!!!!
There would be FAR MORE PROGRESS in the continued development of
Trinity if the developers did not treat
trinity-devel(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net as a chat room where they felt
compelled to response to each and every troll!
Update your killfiles! Good grief, I have! But I'm forced to slog
through all the follow-on replies to the nonsense .
KDE4 should simply be OFF TOPIC -- along with prostate problems,
hemorrhoid afflictions, and microsoft business practices, etc., usw.
I would like to see the developers cranking out code and updates, and
NOT cranking out Troll bombs.
Anyway, that's _my_ opinion...
Maybe, once I've calmed down, I'll respond On Topic
to Tim's Poll inquiry.
sigh...

Why? KDE 4 users are our main detractors. In origin we are all, one way or
another, refugees from KDE 4. Responses referring to KDE 4 are therefore
very much "On Topic to Tim's Poll inquiry".

Developers work in their "spare" time. They are free to use that time any way
they wish. If they need to relax a bit, good for them. If you feel that
more work should be done, you are free to do it.

Topic
to Tim's Poll inquiry.

on (my apologies for my part in the last one; I lost my temper a bit with
what was being flung around) the best thing to do is to completely ignore
that thread. I wouldn't expect anyone to read it really, and I don't
think anyone else would either.
Left unchecked I have no idea what kind of damage KDE claims against TDE
could do. Maybe nothing, maybe something serious. It is unfortunate that
KDE feels that they have to criticise the TDE internals from time to time,
and that the press picks up on inflammatory comments from the TDE
community, blows them out of context, and prints them so as to keep old
wounds fresh.

I thought this was the users list. i.e. http://trinitydesktop.org/mailinglist.php
I was wondering why all the posts about compiling TDE, though I know users who
compile their OS and apps.

Hmmm. I'm going to put my foot in my mouth and stay off my Email client
for the rest of the day :-) When one can't read the messages coming in
correctly it is a danger signal...

Tim -
If this list, in spite of its name, is the development list, where is the
users list? Or isn't there one??
On second thoughts, I am taking development time by asking Tim. Perhaps
someone else on this list, who is on this list in error and who is not a
developer, could enlghten me?

This is from your original message:
kb9vqf(a)pearsoncomputing.net
to trinity-devel(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net
cc trinity-users(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net
You sent the poll to both the users & devel list. That's why I got
that bounceback on the fact that I sent that email to the devel list
which I'm not subscribed to.
It happens. Just keep up the good work on TDE & you will probably be
forgiven.....:-)

Ok maybe I'm missing it all. But isn't the user list for user and the
devel list for devel stuff? If so, what's the problem?

PS the only thing truly wrong with TDE is the print pizza and chips
function doesn't work.

Time was sending to the wrong mailing list by accident.
