if KDE applications on Mac shall become a success, I believe that we must
grow a healthy community. You could have responded a lot more positive
to Ben's question. I can understand that you feel slightly annoyed that people 
confuse the packagers of Macports with the KDE Mac initiative. Also it would 
be better if some patches from Macports would go upstream (in my 
understanding there are also some patches that should better stay on the 
packagers level.) But this is something that should be solved alltogether
with Macports and KDE Mac people. If a user comes to any of us, I think we 
should try to help first and then explain some of the finer details of our 
community.

Best,
Bernhard
