[KimDaBa] Re: Lawsuite against KimDaBa - KimDaBa 2.0 withdrawn!

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

Just in case someone doesn't know of the April 1th joke tradition, and didn't 
understand Jedd's attempt at ruining it ;-) 
This was all a joke, no one sued us, you can continue using kimdaba, and stay 
tuned for the next version to come out within a month.

Cheers
and happy April 2nd
Jesper.
