Its there, someone sent it. Its just a standard. its not a concreate date. It 
will be released soon, is all I know.

Thats not what I said, nor implied.. I asked to help you guys get the release 
out, not you get this release out right now or else.

Some was educational, some others was just poking at me..

I should, I have been here since the beginning.. Things have changed however.

I said I was.. That was my point through all this. I say now, as I said 
before, kde 3.2.3 should be released. If Celeb told me right now, X bug is 
stopping it, I am on it.. Celeb, from what I interpreted, said 3.2.3 is 
ready, he has just been spending his time on 3.3 and been to busy. So my 
question is, how would I get 3.2.3 done for him? Can I? I will spend my time 
running repoman, I don't care..
