On the other hand, some of us have been reading Usenet for 15 years and 
"space reading" has been the norm in every popular newsreader from rn to 
nn to gnus to Agent to Pan, not to mention Unix pagers like pg, more and 
less (it's an option in less.)  It should be an option if it's not left as 
it is.  People who are used to the web browser type behavior could turn 
off "space reading continues to next article" and people who are used to 
news reader behavior could leave it on.

And that particular KDE philosophy is why it took me 3 years to finally 
switch to KDE ;)
