Really?  Where did I say that?

What Sean says, in essence, is that support is expensive, and I would not
expect any vendor to spend too much money on a no-win proposition.  If a
product just does not work, that's one thing, and I mentioned that.  But you
seem happier to believe that I think software support should cost lots of
money, something I never said.

Why don't you try a) reading what I wrote, and b) try dealing with the
vendors in question before you start saying how they operate?  Or is that
too much effort?
