I have no problem with that. I never said that I would sue Metakit for 
having lost my data.

I chose Metakit because:
1/ it is an excellent library that perfectly suits my needs.
2/ it's open source and the author has very good reputation of seriousness 
(hence my disappointment).

Thank you.

I can't pay no dollar, so I don't ask anything to anyone. Except the warning 
on the site, of course. It's not because you write "WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY 
KIND" that you can play with people's data integrity.

As I already said, I know perfectly... but I indulged myself.
