Given that kind of feedback I have no intention to explain anything about 
Akonadi concepts and items here again for now.

My intention was to support Ian to understand what is going on his his setup, 
while being fully transparent about what current, fixable (!) issues with 
Akonadi are. But I am not willing to take in this kind of feedback as a "thank 
you" for it. You crossed a line I of what I consider appropriate behavior.

I will unsubscribe for a while just to help myself to let go of the negativity 
some people here drop into this list, and my wanting to help people despite 
the kind of feedback I received here so far *for communicating transparently*. 
I certainly deserve better than that and so do all of the KDEPIM developers, 
Pablo and others who dedicate mostly their spare time to improve KDEPIM + 
Akonadi.

Your and Dave´s judgment about the current situation just does not do any good 
to change anything about it. As said again and again here on the list, KDEPIM 
developers are aware of the current shortcomings of the current implementation 
of Akonadi (not the general design). There is no need to add judgmental 
feedback about them on top of it, there is no need to make the point any 
clearer unless you believe in trying to force people to do something about the 
current situation by blaming them. I am pretty sure that does not serve as a 
good motivation and that you cannot change anyone else except yourself anyway.

Unsubscribing after this mail in order to establish a clear boundary of what I 
consider appropriate behavior. Yes, I am taking offense, and yes, I am not 
taking this in anymore.

Thanks,
