please show me some links, because from what I've seen it is sour grapes, 
not inaccuracies, but I also don't read every single word on the site.

however the anit-americanism, anti-semitism didn't bother you from the 
original thread?  I read that editorial far differently than you did.

well facts are facts.  I have bounced paychecks in hand, and I have a labor 
board court date.  If Hancom chooses not to reply, then that is their 
problem.  It's the same problem I've had with them the entire time.  Did 
you happen to read my guest essay about KDE?  From all the core developers 
I talked to, they said it was accurate, and if it is in fact accurate, it 
accounts for most of the huge current disconnect with dep and others.
