I don't think anyone is slamming anyone, Marque. I totally agree with you about the extra money thing, I think that was rather bad form.  I don't purchase lifetime anything anymore either, because instead of our/your/my lifetime, it's only the lifetime of whatever site for however long and sometimes they aren't around for very long and it ends up being a ripoff.

As far as posting opinions, I just figure that everyone has one and I can't expect everyone to agree with mine, as much as I would like them too. :) Individual experiences vary and sometimes there is a very good reason for things changing :)
