It's not nice for us to be subjected to a rant. When I reply to a list
email, the "to" field is "Kubuntu user technical support
<kubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com>" and not "Kubuntu user
rant-alleviation support <kubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com>".

It would have been infinitely better for him to say, less succinctly
but in this vein:

KDE's network manager is badly documented - and perhaps not as
well-performing as it ought to be - and the only way that my USB wifi
card seems to be usable is through the compilation of its driver.
