Liz, you continue to be my hero :)

Like I said to someone else today -- I'd rather spend that $150 buying 5 paid accounts at IJ.

I was definitely going to get one before Strikethrough, but now.. not a chance.

Your link to the Moveable Type issues is mainly about technical problems - but there as an occurence much more similar to the LJ Strikethrough when MT was moved from having only a free version to having both free and pay licenses. SixApart stuck their new pay licensing plan with ridiculously high prices up on their site and within a few weeks they had to reduce them quite a bit and offer an unrestricted personal version. 6A simply has no idea who their users are or what they think or want. It's been like this for YEARS ( ... )

I'm offended by their timing. Seriously - they *have* to be high to offer this 'bargain' now, when people are still understandably pissed. Bad form, LJ, bad form.

And thank you for this, Liz.
*leaves roses at your toes*

Amen, sistah! ::applauds:: You rant so much better than I ever could. :)

So, are you actually going to send this to them so they'll read it and maybe, just maybe, get a clue?
