*think* Yes, I still think it's a good idea. You see, KDE will be able to 
sustain itself just fine without users, while it will not last a single day 
without developers. So when it comes to choosing between scaring away 
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 
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 
developer that I know of who accepts payments for adding features, and that 
is a KMail developer, see http://www.kontact.org/shopping/sanders.php

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

Cheers,
