 * Tobias,
 * Could you update the [Migration guide document](http://tablepress.org/migration-from-wp-table-reloaded/)
   on #6 to clearly state wither or not if a user deletes all of WP-Tables Reloaded
   content after an import of data to TablePress that the content will or will not
   be deleted from the database. What is specifically unclear is if TablePress is
   referencing WP-Tables’s tables in the DB or if it has copied and created its 
   own tables. I suspect the later is true but it is a bit unclear at the moment.
 * #6 currently Reads:
 * > Once you are satisfied, you should deactivate WP-Table Reloaded. However, before
   > you do that, make sure that the “Remove upon Deactivation” checkbox on the “
   > Plugin Options” screen of WP-Table Reloaded is NOT checked (unless you really
   > want to remove all WP-Table Reloaded tables from the database). If you want
   > to remove everything, you can also click the “Uninstall” button there. (Note
   > that you can always get everything back from the “WP-Table Reloaded Dump File”
   > that you created as a backup in step 1, in case you ever change your mind.)
 * Thanks, for a great plugin! Fröhliche Weihnachten und ein glückliches neues Jahr!

 * Hello Hugh,
 * thanks for your feedback on this, I really appreciate it!
    Yes, that paragraph
   is indeed written in a complicated way, and I will definitely try to make it 
   more clear. Thanks for your input on this!
 * (And to hopefully clarify on your question: TablePress is completely independent
   from WP-Table Reloaded. It only reads the the WP-Table Reloaded tables from the
   database and stores them in its own location. Therefore, after the successful
   migration, everything that’s related to WP-Table Reloaded can be deleted from
   the database.)
 * Best wishes and Happy Holidays to you as well!
    Tobias
