*think* Yes, I still think it's a good idea. You see, KDE will be able to=20
sustain itself just fine without users, while it will not last a single day=
=20
without developers. So when it comes to choosing between scaring away=20
developers and scaring away users, the choice is rather easy actually.

Not all users are so annoying though, there are also nice ones who are=20
greatful for the software they get, I have no problem with them.

I'm not sure why you use kmail as example btw, there is exactly one KDE=20
developer that I know of who accepts payments for adding features, and that=
=20
is a KMail developer, see http://www.kontact.org/shopping/sanders.php

*think* Your father must have mistaken the whore that calls herself your=20
mother for a goat. In that regard it's positive that you were named after=20
your mother, and not Goatmann after your father ;-)

Cheers,
Waldo
