Now again I want to tell sorry to everyone who was shoked by my letter
which told that we do not give answers without money.

The truth is that MySQL developers have about 20 different mailing lists
to read in priority order. We have mailing list for people who pay for
support and their mails get answered before anything else. Unfortunately
we receive a lot of spam to this list plus many people just ask us for
free support. This makes our work harder in many aspects. For example I
receive e-mails related to some patterns directly to my cellular phone
as SMS message. If signal/noise ratio is bad, I drop this list from such
service to keep others running. There are also other reasons

The mistake was that I forget that I am not anymore reading support
list. I sent out two those our standard replies accordnig to our
internal policy before I realized what I am doing.

I want to apologize in public for doing such mistake. This is NOT MySQL
policy and never will be. MySQL public list remains open, free and there
will be developers answering part time of their workday. 

Please forgive me.
