KDE4 advice

I second the idea of testing before committing, but in my [limited]
experience the two live fine side by side. I installed Kubuntu with
KDE3 on the wife's computer, then decided to make her my testbed for
KDE4, and started configuring the system. After I got so frustrated
with KDE4 that I decided instead of filing the bugs I found I would
wait until KDE 4.1, I set KDM to log her into KDE3 again. The only
drawback, like you said, is that the K menu has been polluted with KDE
4 applications. That took only five minutes to fix, and I think that I
will leave the KDE4 version of Kopete for her.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
