As a follow up... First of all I would like to thank everyone that took time to
respond to my questions, it helped bring a new understanding and brought up some
points I hadn’t considered.
I do want to address two issues that were brought up here, some what, but mostly
in email and msn.. That basically was “What was your motivation in posting? What
do I think the price is?”
The truth is, lots of ppl I know have been discussing these sorts of questions
at lug meetings, chats, other forums and msn messages yet I had not seen many in
depth conversation about it here. That seriously got me to wondering where the
community on a whole was standing on these various questions I keep hearing.
They were not just my questions, I only brought the question here, mainly
because there are some people that can’t or are not comfortable posting here. I
personally don’t have strong stance on any of it, just intense curiosity.
So ~MY~ motivation was to open a conversation in the most respectful manner
possible before more misconceptions happened and resulted in someone with an ax
to grind brings it to Lugnet and starts yet another flame war. That may be
difficult for those that suffer from the lack of empathy gene to understand.
If the programs behind the scenes make a difference, then by all means, it has
my support (as if my support would matter one way or not) and if in the long run
they don’t, no harm no foul, unless of course it IS keeping our prolific off
the boards which was what I meant by the “price” we pay... (and some admitted it
was true, others felt it wasn’t, and some were actively trying to change that).
I feel I need to make one thing clear... I never once intended or thought this
would be that earth shattering of a post, it was just some simple questions that
brought out some simple and complex answers.
In particular, to Calum, no, I don’t think that any of my
questions/answers/resulting conclusions are remotely world changing nor would it
be “preventing the next Nobel prize winning thesis” but... I also don’t recall
LUGNET changing to a “World Event Symposium”. Therefore ~ In my opinion,
company and fan relations are a valid part of discussion here.

| After an interesting chat about "Fan involvement with TLC" the other night, a few concerns/questions came up, and I can't seem to shake them.
