You will notice that except for Yssie, none of the regular RT posters: Dreamer, Diamondseeker, Stonecold, myself, Charmy, slg, etc. have commented.
Why? Because we are out there actually helping people. Posts like this are useless for newbies, as a general rule. It will be up for a short while then disapear and none but those who are arguing their point vociferously will remember it. It doesn't affect anything. To actually affect change you need to help out in RT. As a regular poster.
If you have an opinion on something like this: post in RT on the "real" threads. If you think we are pushing our preferences-- step in and say so nicely. If you think we are a doing a good job-- step in and learn so you can do it too.
All this effort spent on something that stirs the pot. What a waste. And it also gives a bad impression to the newbies of discord and doesn't encourage them to learn enough to stay and help out-- because they can CLEARLY SEE that the vendors do not value US, so why should they join us. If there is a vendor agenda it is that... some of them appear to want the 'prosumers' to disappear so they can have free reign and use posts like this to bully consumers into listening to the vendors not the prosumers.
TheGreatTwizz and Marchesa, especially you both as newer members. Stick around HERE and help us-- we are appreciated, even if it doesn't seem like it from threads like this.
Gypsy, I'm a RT regular. I'd say the majority of my post total is mainly from RT.
