I have nothing against Miguel. I am not involved in anyway with him or
his  work. I  _use_ GNOME,  translate it,  spread it.   But  then same
applies to KDE too.

I do  not think there is any  difference of opinion between  us on the
Mono/DotGNU issue any way, mostly because I do not have any. ;)

this.  I really  do  not what  else  transpired, and  do  not want  to
comment on something I am not sure about.
