I'd forward their eMails back. 
Just kidding, Wizoo. But yeah, like Olivia stated, game_guy's statements implied that he did not offer you criticism or advice, but made it more of an order to do as he stated.
Now, I will ask you to consider having your database files (not part of your game's exe) and the saved data to be in a sort of separate folder. This way you 'COULD' uninstall/reinstall the initial program without the necessity of restarting a project. Maybe if your databases or saved filea are structured differently, perhaps you could offer a separate 'data-update' program to convert the data to the new format... perhaps a header in the data files so it recognizes which version you're using. I do admit that I am guilty of a few updates that forces one to start over with their save-game files, but that's few and far between (if I can help it).
Oh, and if you didn't read my siggy... yep, it's me... DerVV.
