Before this gets any further, I want to say thanks. 

Derek, I like some others, are with you, and why they rant even started in the 
first place is beyond me.  I didn't think you did all that bad a job.  I 
think the problem stemmed from his frustration at not knowing more, some of 
which I can understand, I've been there myself.

Just keep up the good work, there are those who appreciate your efforts.  I 
don't have the time to help here as much as I'd like, Working Full time and 
Pastoring a small Church.

Ian and Macario, and whoever else is over reacting:
Chill out.  You are NOT paying for the help you are getting, so quit acting 
like it.  
To all the rest, The goal of Cannonical, and Ubuntu, and Kubuntu itself MAY be 
to gain market share, but many of us who use it could care less.
