Anthony, I'll grant it's a good analogy, and I certainly grant that you need to do something, but there is one mistake in your deadbolt analogy. You have the keys, to the deadbolt on your front door. We meaning the users of poser(I don't have the pro pack, yet) wouldn;t have that key you would. So how does your analogy work there. In the case of your analogy, it means that you go to work, the door locks, you come home and someone from a company that made the door has to come and unlock it for you. After the first time the company did so, or a "reasonable" number of times, the door would "magically" open at your will, and lock behind you provided nothing in your house has been changed. However, if you like to redecorate your house on a regular basis, then the door will not open and the door making company will look into it on a case by case basis, to see if you are deserving of opening the door or not. That seems to me to be why people are upset. You wish to hold their door keys, and since computer components are often "redecorated" or upgraded from choice or due to failure, there seems to be a big chance of a lot of the case by case basis, and the resultant ill will.
