 Interesting logic.

  Honestly, I tried not to.

  I agree with this!

Tom, you're really asking for flames back when you post little jibes like
this, but I will try to refrain.  I am certainly not confused.  Rather,
I was trying to clarify a point of view that is not uncommon but that 
was getting lost under emotionalism.  Ask yourself how you would feel about
using a tool whose latest features and bug fixes could not be made 
available to you over your chosen service.  Whether or not you think this
is silly, lots of people are going to feel this way.  (Why is it that on
CompuServe people are so much more polite to each other?  Could it be
because they are paying for their connect time?)
