Thanks for your update. I guess no one that read your site and knew about the private situation was offended by your answers. My activity on this mailing list was mostly lurking with some spikes when I failed to archive anything, but I do think that most of the questions here receive a good answer. Something that's not too common for open source projects and sets this library apart. If the last part of your mail means that you'll (in one way or another) offer payed support or commercial licenses next year: I'd love to kick my company repeatedly to give you something back.
