right, and here I am, volunteering my time as well. I want to know what I can |
| 24 |
do.. Bugs are squashed, things should be progressing. KDe isn't joe program |
| 25 |
that you might wait 30 days, kde is tested well before its released from kde, |
| 26 |
why do we need to rerun the same tests? |

And as I said before, Spider is on a prowl of uneeded bugs in bugzilla.. Stuff |
| 35 |
like this.. If he replies and says this is ok, so be it. |

Good.. Then my voice will continue to be heard. It always has, and always will |
| 42 |
be. Gentoo is the distrabution I choose for a reason, its the best.. And I |
| 43 |
will continue to make it so, by hook or by crook.. :) |
