Very true. There are others that do it, though. ADAT is one in the SDR space.

Well, as understandable as it is, for me, that's the wrong reaction. Also, 
complaints are neither abuse nor punishment. It's expectations. They're not 
always presented in a proper manner, true. Still, that's the customer's voice. 
Handling those voices is a major task - not really easy, not always fun, but 
the core of the business.

I was a very satisfied Flex-5000 user, no doubt.
