Some complaints are probably valid, others are more than likely due to people
trying to get support the wrong way around.  As things like the net, other BBS
systems, magazines, and user groups point out, it's impossible to get 100% of 
the support you, as a computer hobbiest, may want, directly from the parent
company.  Sure, not everyone can have a usenet feed, but everyone can help
propagate the knowledge.  Because usenet is free (intellectually speaking, in
that it's not copyrighted), these postings travel to people who aren't on
usenet, and may occasionally teach them something they can pass on in other
ways.
