I think that Karl had a two-part, stream of consciousness blog post.

The first was that there is a (daily?) maximum number of posts that
one email address are allowed to make.

The second was that 8.04 is better suited for playing games than
10.04, which he seems to believe has games-related bugs.

At least, this is how I understood Karl's email...
