My situation is similar to yours, and I agree mostly with what you
wrote, except the sentence above.

We are users of their sofware, we are *paying* customers and we demand
improvement. Most on this list know what the problems are, and do come
up with ideas for such improvement. It's good to discuss them because
not all ideas are practical (I have been proven wrong in the past and
will be in the future).

I'm on this list to learn and to discuss. Some may call me a troll; my
attention is with those who supply valid arguments in their response.
