Puns are pointless here -- especially old cold dried-up ones.
You are reading an interpretation into my words which had not
occurred to me, and which I disavow.
My whole point was not to assign blame -- for all I know,
some people may *like* the way things are, and consider praise due.
I *asked* several questions (not just the one you quote out of
context), all leading to the same basic thing which I don't know and want
to : where best to raise the issue.
That was and is a real question.
*Why* do I get so much more info about Gnome apps than KDE ones,
*who* could change that, and *where* can I make the request and expect it
to be on topic?
You might have noted that I went out of my way to praise certain
KDE apps, and to explain that I would like to find others, if they exist,
which I would like as well.

I have no idea what that jargon refers to. Why are you throwing
it at me? What does it have to do with the issue?

Btw, it is true that I happen to be one of those who despise and
detest the Apple interface as much as I do the M$ one -- if that
discomfits you, so be it -- but the fact is altogether beside the point
of my post. Apple, and the sneers of its admirers against the
uninitiated, was a mere example, as was Stefan George. Are you going to
take umbrage at my mention of him??

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
