Quote - Very true, which is why it's also important that the True Majority occasionally make their voices heard as well. For every person who doesn't like how something is done, there could be two who think things are fine - but if they don't speak up, only the one who doesn't like it gets heard.

Actually, thanks to our wee capitalistic system, the majority's voices are heard. They vote with their wallets, and as reputation rises or falls, so does both profit and the positive/negative voice of the majority. 

This is doubly true in the CG hobbyist market, where the commodity is purely a luxury item.

Nobody is forced to buy CG goods in order to remain alive - we're not talking food, water, medical care, or heat. Hell, it's not even a secondary commodity - like, say, gasoline/petrol, cigarettes, and coffee would be. This means that when the majority speaks about a company or product in this little realm, that company or product will live or die by the voices of the majority.

Here's the trick, though: The majority doesn't speak with words - they speak with dollars, euros, yen, pounds sterling, etc etc... and those voices carry a lot more weight than the electron-scented vapor that we see in these here forums.
