I'm wondering why. The quality difference is not a question, but it can be a reason why the documentation is restricted - the less readers the less complaints. BTW: Also product-related lists are closed to public even for reading. Just to hide problems discussed ? Any comments, opinions, thoughts are welcome. <SNIP> It could be Trade Secret laws that are the consideration. Remember, documentation is intellectual property (IP), describing other IP. If either property is protected under Trade Secret rules, then you can not make those Trade Secret items public without losing your protection for your IP (Hey, I'm not an attorney, I didn't stay at whatever that hotel chain is in the past month, and I don't play an attorney on TV).
