I do not believe the above to be accurate.

Whats cracks me up is that I start working on some obscure section of kdebase
in regards to Solaris specifics that has not been touched in months and
months and you all of a sudden you feel it necessary to jump on it and point
out how my patches are wrong and how I'm "doing it all wrong." and then begin
your own work on it - after which you've finished you send an email to kde-core-devel
smearing my patch as "bad patch" *without* even CCing me at all.

All I know is that I don't like people flat-out misrepresenting me, particularly
in cases where they want *their* version/changes/contribution/etc to be used
instead.
