Flamefest! It is like the Tyre fire of Springfiled, it could keep burning for years.

Most of us have lots of respect for the achievements of the other project but we all have our own priorities and there is or at least should be a friendly sense of competition. (Many of us occasionally use one or two applications from the other project, some even contribute code which is useful to both projects.) We have far more in common than we have to disagree about, the bigger competition lies elsewhere. Unfortunately if project leaders fail to keep well intentioned but over enthusiastic evangelists in line and ask them to be a little more polite it gives the false impression they represent the whole project (this happens to both groups). Like it or not we represent our respective communities by example. > And since such nonsense spreads quickly and happens to live long for some > reason, I think I should give just a few quickly measured numbers: [... interesting information about KDE performance ...] It might also be worth noting that perception makes a huge difference to how users evaluate performance. To be fair starting a KDE application from Gnome takes a little bit longer to get going than if you were already running KDE. Comfort and famiarity with a system will make it seem more responsive even if the raw numbers say differently.

Like trying to talk on two telephones at once. It is almost enough to make one want to override the list Reply-To to make it harder for people to do it (almost). Sincerely Alan Horkan
