As I said in my OP Meinecommunity I'll not go into the reasons for the strike, outside of it has nothing to do with how people behave in the forums/blogs. And yes, I do see how that can be very frustrating. I had to bully my way in when I began to understand/comprehend dolphin before people would finally accept that I knew what I was doing. I'm not as patient as you to take your route.

With that said, yes the customers/newbies/site owners are hurt in the instance of a strike as they do suffer see more from lack of support/customer service/receiving the product. However, it is also the management that is forced to take on extra responsibility in the event of a strike to attempt to maintain whatever standard they can that is as close as possible to the non-striking version. In this instance with a strike in place it forces management to spend more time dealing with small support issues than to be developing/managing the company itself as myself and it appears some others have temporarily quit providing that support. So you see, this is a double edged sword. Please know, this is not a temper tantrum and some with the inside knowledge know other more peacful routes were attempted to deal with this before it became a strike.
