Gabriel, I must apologize for the harshness of my approach, but I cannot apologize for chastising you for saying it's stupid to gripe about a "free service" that wasn't free. Chris said it much more diplomatically than I did. Please take this to heart that MB is doing this as a favor/service/thank you to us for being loyal MB owners. THAT is the point everyone is making here.
