I'm a KDE fan and like it much more than GNOME, but nowadays we should really try not to stress the "my DE is better than yours" factor, especially not in a blog this public, even if it's meant as good humor. Simply the fact that you're motivated enough to take your time drawing something like this is proof enough for me that a lot of the DE fight mentality is still out there, and should be reduced much more. - haha, you took the old crappy KDE logo instead of the nice new one! ;) Look, a fanboy! :) ))

KDE!!! Jdub, I find kicking people in the shin usually wakes them up, and if they don't laugh, at least they look funny trying to figure why in the hell you just kicked them. So if 2+2=5 makes you smart, rock on GNOMErs! (boooooyah!) p.s. my blog is boring for real, it is nothing but my online mirror, if I didn't have it, I would sit here and talk to myself..well I always talk to myself, but I would do it even more ;) Caroline, Xfce, Enlightenment, Fluxbox (right imbrandon?), but most importantly, and I have at least imbrandon backing me up…

In my twisted perceptions such 'jokes' only tell me that Gnome users are arrogant.

I actually didn't have much to say apart from congratulating you on the title of this post. - Jeff, burninator.

Maybe he just likes being claimed by both ;) FwIW I don't think Rich's blog is *that* boring compared to, say, some of the ones I read on Live Journal.. Oh and you forgot xfce!

Thanks Ben for at least recognizing my "boring" blog. There are aggregators out there, that will filter, so you could add my blog to the filter so you didn't have to read it. I will admit that it is rather boring, as I tend to have meaningless conversations with myself. I was thinking of a comeback sharms, but I think my "Doctor Shoals" post back when the GNOME feet made their way onto the planet was payback enough. Otherwise, we just might get people upset and make them cry by having fun. It seems that a sense of humor around here is as buggy as Windows ME. Richard "That Middle Guy" Johnson aka nixternal I loved it!
