Yes, I could imagine that confidentiality is a *very* important point for companies. If I'd run a company, I'd probably not like to allow all people to google for my company's technical problems. And then, one could argue as follows:When getting support from the *public* list, it is actually not free; you pay for it by dropping your right of confidentiality, which is profitable for Sage, as other people can learn from the way how your problem got solved. If you don't want to drop your rights, then you have to pay cash... But I am not a lawier, and I don't own a company.
