    Because it wasn't germane to the point and it certainly wasn't agreeing
with me.

    Folks like me?  *looks around*  You mean the one using KUbuntu and thus
don't have Mono loaded onto my system?  People like me who thought the deal
with QT wasn't so bad way back when and dislike the idea of GNOME since it was
created solely to bring KDE down?  People like me who's finding it supremely
ironic that QT was the devilspawn and is now ok while the very project that
went into battle the horridness that was Trolltech is now in bed with Microsoft?

    Yeah.  Sorry, difference 'tween you and me is that while you talk about
"oh, that's freedom" and append "but you'll be SOOORRRRRYYYYY" like you're
telling some urban legend to children I just leave it at the first part.  It's
their freedom.  Full stop.

    Now, would you care to apologize for your presumptions on knowing me?
