You made a suggestion. I made a suggestion. Is this difficult to understand 
and accept? KISS is fine, but knowledge of its consequences shouldn't be 
summarily dismissed. My suggestion points out how the fastest part of a HD 
might be better put to use than to allocate it to a secondary operating system.

I do no such thing, and I'm authoring comments for thread participants, not 
mere observers.

Did I need to? I've read the thread in its entirety at least as far back as 
his post archived at 
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2013-October/058520.html and 
so far haven't seen indication I need to. When he complains about too much 
information is time enough to adjust. If he's like most, he can ignore excess 
more easily than discover what's been omitted that might be relevant, helpful 
or possibly crucial to an optimal decision how best to proceed.
