False.  I usually do not mention KDE at all to reporters. 

In this case, it was a straight question.  Go see the interview.

We are working with them.

"*very* difficult"?  I do not see how I would do it.  Am I stopping
all the mail between the teams?  Am I censoring anyone?

False.  

So far the history of "FUD" according to people is:

	1. Reporter implied KDE was German.  Not my fault, go tell
	   SuSE to use better advertisement.

	2. The no future thing.  It caught me off-guard.

That is all.  And they have nothing else.  

So, give me a break.

I am not a computer.  Sorry to dissapoint you.

And yes, I have made many mistakes in my life.  Starting with the
salted chocolate to my teacher in first grade, and continuing with the 
pink rabit.  But those are details you should not know.

this "lack of fair-play"?  Give me *proof of this*, until then, I
consider this spreading miss-information.
