That, and by the time it comes to retirement, one has generally been thru |
18 |
the arguments several times already, the people that need to know why in |
19 |
general already do, and there's a feeling it's not worth rehearsing old |
20 |
positions and bringing up old arguments the one last time. The time for |
21 |
that has already passed by the time someone's announcing their |
22 |
retirement, the decision has been made, it's all water under the bridge |
23 |
now (as the saying goes) and it's time to move on, with a clean break, no |
24 |
longer blaming anyone or etc as that's what one does /before/ it gets to |
25 |
this point. |

So, indeed, I'm a KDE user here, and it's time to wish them well... |

Thanks guys for all the hard work, the product of which I'm running |
30 |
(still KDE 3.5.9, here) as I type this. Be well, and hope to see you |
31 |
around the community! There's plenty of projects out there that can use |
32 |
your help! =8^) |
