As many long term members of this list may know, I was unceremoniously
kicked out of the KDE project. I think that I was acting strange; it is
difficult to remember.
I have a problem: ME/CFS.
That is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
I mention this now because after many years, the medical establishment
has finally decided that it is a real disease and is trying to find the
cause and perhaps a cure.

Note that there are a lot of other symptoms, some somewhat strange that
have been documented. Some of which I appear to have.
Someone has even made a documentary film about it, so perhaps the
general public will gain some understanding of it.

To make things worse, I had a minor stroke in the Left Parietal Lobe of
my brain and this may have accounted for some strange behavior and
memory issues.
So, I have a disabling illness and I consider myself disabled. I note
to the KDE organization that the USA has Federal Laws forbidding
discrimination against the disabled and I believe that they have
discriminated against me and what the law calls failed to make
reasonable accommodations for my disability. I don't know how that
works out for a foreign corporation, but they do appear to be doing
business in the USA.
I am taking medication for both ME/CFS and the stroke and have been
doing some better. However, I do still have this tendency to channel
Steve Jobs which I presume that some of the KDE developers would have
serious problems with.
So, since I am feeling better, I might risk posting bug reports again
and hope that developers don't say something to the effect that I am not
allowed to post bug reports, reopen MY bugs, or post patches to fix bugs.
