And *this* is what happens when I spend time with my family instead of you guys.
Maybe now the wife will understand.
-sigh-
So here we go . .
If you are an ODNT subscriber you made a deal with Stardock that they would provide you access to stuff more likely to crash your PC but you would get it earlier. That's the deal. Dollars for access.
Anyone else . . . they OWE YOU NOTHING.

They don't owe you times and dates. They don't owe you trial-ware or shareware. They don't owe you demos. They don't owe you tech support. They don't owe you apologies or explanations if something doesn't meet your expectations.
Anything they give you is because they like you. They want you to be happy. They want you to tell your friends.
What they provide they provide because they would like to support the community and hope to make you clients.
In the end, if you want something from Stardock only availalbe to those who have bought it or subscribed to it, buy it or subscribe to it.
Otherwise wait patiently with your hands out, your heads down and show some gratitute when you get it.
As an aside (and perhaps a warning) I'm not a big fan of personal attacks.
