There was no "personal attack" - I said if.

And you have explained nothing, neither you, or Moriador, or Wolf have answered the ultra-simple question that was put to you.  I'm not asking you whether subscription models work, cause like I said, I actually like the idea when it's done in a fair manner (Allegorithmic for example).  So what I'm asking you, is why you think Method 2 (the greedy Adobe method) is better than Method 1 (the fair Allegorithmic method).

Why do you prefer the Adobe method that doesn't earn you a permanent licence over the one Allegorithmic uses, that does earn you a permanent licence?

Can't make the question any clearer than that, Shane, you create these conflicts by saying stuff and then avoiding the invevatable questions that are sure to come about by what you say.  When you say stuff like you prefer the Adobe policy and you hope the rest do the same, it's obvious you're gonna get some flak when you're seen to be favouring corporate greed over the good of your fellow public.
