Albert,

I really admire your persistence. Fedora and OLPC are working on a
traditional GNOME desktop for the XO and I'm sure they would
appreciate your contributions:

Isn't that awesome? Now you don't need to waste your time reiterating
your opinion about Sugar over and over anymore, and you will have more
time to contribute useful code for the kids.

Then, we will just see who does better.

Love,
Marco
