And Opera sails above its competition. I don't want to see RITLABS spend
time competing with Opera Software when they still have a LOT of work to do on
TB!. I don't want to see Opera Software compete with RITLABS, either.

I would have agreed with you but I'm just not seeing evidence of it and
the "ideology" hinted to in the same paragraph as an added newsreader in an
email client most certainly does not point in that direction.

You mistake me, sir, for someone who *IS* a happy camper. I came to TB!
for two main reasons. Anyone who has asked me privately in the past few
months can confirm this answer has never changed.
1: TB! had active development.
2: TB! had, albeit broken, IMAP support.
I converted to and purchased TB! based on expected *FUTURE* resolution of a
need that I have, that of a decent IMAP implementation. If TB! does not
provide it, I will have to go elsewhere. If TB! takes the homogenous route,
I'll have to look elsewhere. I use TB! 1.x because I have not found anything
else to place my money and faith into that is usable. If TB! 2.x turns out
unusable I will have no reason to keep with V1.x because...
1: It will no longer have active development.
2: It will still have a broken IMAP implementation.
