I think i clarified it in my previous posts. What you're talking about
is a different relationship. We're talking about a vendor vs. customer
relationship in which case if the number of unsatisfied customers
bi@#$^ng about your product grows, you have to take adequate action no
matter how much they're hurting your ego. Becasue sometimes there
*might* be a valid reason for that. ;)

That said i think it's silly to argue about that here. We have lost two
main specs providers. Not because of hatefilled posts. That was the
consequence. In my eyes a very valid one. In your case perhaps not. But
it's for the interest of *everyone* here. So i think the more of us
agree the more strength we can show to everybody out there, instead of
arguing whether to beg or be more proud(no offense, my POV).
