That wasn't the point.  The point was that Mr Knight asked a question on
this list but did not wait for the answer before posting false information
on Slashdot.  Either that or he did read the answer but chose to lie
anyway.  Hopefully, the former was the case.

*Valid* criticism is good for a project since addressing it will invariably
make it stronger.  Criticism based on half-truths and lies can only destroy.
Lord knows there are enough valid criticisms against both GNOME and KDE
for one to have to make stuff up...
