Total Crash and Lost Data

[Randy Aldering]

Good grief, my apologies.  One could resent the suggestion that the users of GnuCash and other
OpenSource projects do not support them financially.  For my type of personality, all of that
reading is a bit much.  GnuCash has not been generating .xac files for two years, and it still
isn't under the latest release, so that is not some thing that I have a lot of control over,as far
as I can tell..  By the by, I DID search for data loss, and got nothing.  I'm also not the type to
write a dissertation detailing "what happened" BEFORE I actually make contact with some one.  If
that is some how "wrong," then that is truly unfortunate.  Thanks for all the help, any way.  I
appreciate the thoughtful use of donation money.

| 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.
