  I shouldn't have posted emotions.  I should have just explained the problem 
as I saw it.  For that, I apologize.  Oceanwatcher did a fantastic job of 
doing what I should have.

  Your decision to release an incomplete change in direction for the product 
has caused us to lose data.  That is a BAD decision any way you want to look 
at it.  Volunteer, professional, doesn't matter.  You made an intentional 
decision that caused users to lose data.  That is BAD.

  And come off your high horse about being a volunteer.  Do you think any of 
us don't volunteer for anything in our lives?  You do it because YOU enjoy it.  
You do it because YOU want to do it.  And if you haven't already been 
financially rewarded or received a job because of what you've done, then be 
patient, it will come.  But by volunteering, you assume the responsibilities 
associated with it.  And one of those responsibilities surely has to be to 
never intentionally throw your users data away.

  I do appreciate your time and efforts on this but that doesn't change the 
fact that this was a really BAD decision.

  I upgraded because I wanted a bug fix that was made in KMail.  I didn't want 
to touch any other part of KDE.  But guess what, that isn't an option.  I 
never expected to lose data because I upgraded.  But I have learned my lesson.
