No, but repeated statements that the work shouldn't be done are discouraging 
-- a better phrasing of your initial mail might even had the result that 
someone would have started seriously hacking on it. I find it best to always 
keep the possiblity open for improvement and contributions.

I'm not angry: just disappointed that you take it for granted that there is a 
community decision where there wasn't one.

Please don't pull that sort of seniority thing: yes, you've been around 
KOffice for a long time, with a big gap in the middle when you were more 
interested in kdepim and usability, but I've been around for more than six 
years as well by now. In any case, your first reply to my mail made it clear 
that you did see the lack of further mail in this thread as the basis for your 
statement on irc, it's not fair to suddenly drag in the rest of KOffice 
history.
