Your exact statement: "I'd be fine without them, if it would work without --- but it doesn't." In your statement "them" refers to "those parts of KDE" that "require a connection to an Akonadi server". Put more succinctly, "the parts that want an Akonadi server". In your statement "it" refers to "KDE 4.2", the version of KDE that entered testing and is causing you problems. Performing substitutions, your statement becomes: I'd be fine without the parts that want an Akonadi server, if KDE 4.2 would work without --- but KDE 4.2 doesn't. Focusing on the second independent clause gives: KDE 4.2 doesn't. Doesn't what? This part was elided from the second independent clause because it was already in the first independent clause. Adding it back gives: KDE 4.2 doesn't work without. Without what? This part was elided from the first independent clause because it was already in the dependent clause. Adding it back gives: KDE 4.2 doesn't work without the parts that want an Akonadi server. So, yes, you did say that. You just didn't use those words, which is why they weren't a quote. (Notice the lack of quotation marks.) Anyone reading this message can follow the exact reasoning I used to get to that conclusion, based on the facts in this message--the quoted text. Please let me know what, if any, problems exist in my reasoning. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
