I do have knowledge of changing a platform and the costs of setting up on a new platform. So is my knowledge perfect to the situation? No. But it's a lot more in depth than random conjecture.

RMY switched from Simple four years ago, so a member HAS done it and he kept all his historic data and images, lists etc. Thinking Rhys is probably pretty happy he did right about now.

It isn't random conjecture. Have you talked to Al or Lee? I suspect not. I will simply say that their views about the matter seem to be completely different than yours. I don't imagine that either of them is very happy about the situation they are in, nor would I be, but switching doesn't appear to be quite as easy as you seem to think it is, at least from their perspective.

So I owe an apology to Kenny, Lee and Al. Apparently I am losing my mind. I know, and do chat with Lee and Al periodically and could've sworn when the first hack went down I chatted with both. Apparently I remember incorrectly. I want to be clear that they are great guys and my whole point behind my posts was that good companies and people don't deserve to have something like this happen to them.

I HAVE spoken with both of them now, but in the interest of fairness, and again with an apology to Kenny as well, I removed my posts even though they live on in Kenny's quotes.

Why in the world does someone have to talk to Al or Lee to determine whether switching auction providers is cost prohibitive? What might be cost prohibitive to Al might not be to Scott. Or Ken Goldin. or Kenny Cole.

Scott says he has done it, and it wasn't cost prohibitive. Just because Al and Lee say it is, that invalidates Scott's opinion? Having trouble following your logic, Kenny.

They aren't nearly on the same site, nor do their respective sites even remotely have the same features or functionality. That is a huge difference. And that is why what works for Scott may not come even close to working for Al, Lee, Goldin, or whoever. That is also why I don't think Scott can presume to speak about what works for Al or vice versa. Opinions are only as valid as the information upon which they are based. That is and has been my point.

You are right in the sense that I couldn't care less who you talk to. It does irritate me that you simply pull stuff out of your ass when you don't know come here from sic 'em about the subject upon which you are opining. And that is rather clearly the case here. In any event, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. It doesn't make much sense to continue on, because you will remain convinced that you are right and I will remain convinced that you are not. Such is life. Carry on ...
