Agreed, and to add up on that, we have a Code of Conduct
(http://kde.org/code-of-conduct/) which should be honored. But indeed
having a nice working discussion with users is a really good idea. No
limits is not good, as i know many of the proll posts we get and need
to be moderated... So instead, a REASONABLE discussion point should be
the most minimal limit.

Cheerio,
