Not to mention that

1. The indignation in his message is more than a bit over-the-top,
given that he spent $0 for the hard work of volunteers.
2. You can search the FAQ for "data loss" and it tells you about .xac
and .log files and why they are there. Is that DIFFICULT?
3. His message is addressed to the wrong mailing list.

(Given the nature of my message, I want to emphasize that I am not
Gnucash developer nor am I associated with the project in any way,
other than as a happy user. I am speaking for myself here, not for the
project.)
