Yeah--I know it's the contrary, that's what my sentence (that you quoted
above) meant.  I was criticizing a misleading title in another post.  It's
good that you left that misleading title out, because it was misleading, but
without it you can't tell whether my sentence is pro or agin'.  Just for the
record, I was _clarifying_ that it was suspended, and that that is not the
same as stopped, as you very accurately and clearly pointed out.

I agree, with the caveat that it is appropriate to correct inaccuracies and
redirect people to the source.  Speaking of the source  (
http://www.bostig.com/bostig-official-calendar/244-auto-sales-suspension )
you can see there that they have been burned once already in participation
in another forum by a moderator accusing them of "hard selling".

Hence there is a possibility that they might be a bit gun shy (or perhaps
even just too busy doing actual work) to step in here, which is why I
stepped in in their defense.  Vendors like these deserve the support of the
community imho.

Anyway, just wanted to clarify why I, personally, stepped in and what I was
(or at least meant to be) saying.
