I have always liked your pragmatic posts. You always seem to see things for what they are and have an honest reply. I thank you for that.

Now that sounds a bit harsh! Do you honestly think that complaining day after day will change anything? NO, The reason is the only thing corporations understand and take stock in is revenue. If a item produces profit and is growing then that is what they understand. A handful of belly achers are not going to change anything.

I believe the BDA DOES look at forums and the early adopters to see how they feel because lets face it, we are driving the format still at this time IMO. We all know they were coming to the forums during the format war and had reps posting daily also. So I DO think if they hear that everything is fine with them that they will not change. Maybe we cannot make much of a difference in the end, but i like to think we DO have some part to play in it.

To actually "Blame" people for not complaining as the reason BD is struggling is placing guilt where it doesn't belong. Action speaks louder than words.  The best action is not to buy the BD movies/players, if you disagree and have issues.

I agree that belly aching will not solve the problems alone, but stick our heads in the sand is worse and could lead people who come here to see if it is OK to jump into BD and it is "safe" to do so, does an injustice by not giving a fair presentation of the current state of the format also.
It seems many here and on other forums have an agenda ON BOTH SIDES, and that is just unfortunate IMO. We should all be who we are and that is CONSUMERS first, and format champions SECOND.
