Those *are* current events related to the US army, no?

I never claimed that and in fact have argued against Neil when he did. I'm in favor of a apolitical KDE because I believe that majority ruling of "what affects KDE directly" risks being shaped by geopolitical opinions skewed by a disproportionate amount of developers in a certain geopolitical region. If that's pushing politics.. > Certainly an effective approach to dragging us back down to the dark ages > of KDE PR... your website must have gotten a lot of publicity? Made it #1 > on Google? I'm sorry, did I even mention my website in the mail you are replying to? But since you bring it up, yes, we seem to be #1 for "kde anti-americanism", before the Dot. And #2 for "kde anti-american", after it. Since both sites have very relevant content on that matter, I can see why they rank high. Not that I see why it matters in this discussion, other than that apparently my concerns are invalid to you because a website where Neil and I post has decent Google ratings.
