Re: [awansink@ke.com.au: Re: Isn't a kde version of abiword illegal?]
For Christ's sake, will you stop taking things so personally. Just
for that I will make this personal. You are one of the worst kind of
mailing list readers. You a) come to the party late b) think you
have to reply to every message c) think you are involved in the
conversation when your not.
I am not referring to you in these posts. Did you offer me advice
about the legalities of what I was doing at the start of this thread. I
think not. All you did is boast about your licensing skills and take
the things I wrote about my defacto advisors to heart.
Please read the complete thread before posting. There is nothing
worse than stale comments.
