Sorry, I did not mean to revert your change just after you have done it.

To the reasons:
- I have learnt that you need ! after an imperative in English. 
- Without please, it sounds dull, especially for my new short version of the 
text.

So I suppose that we need an arbitration from the kde-doc-english mailing 
list.

Have a nice day!
