>If you look at the thread map you'll see that my reply was to message #727656 where Craig said "Some people have a problem with the UT because you run it as a business.". Get it now?

No, you're missing the point. The UT is not being critisized by anyone because it is a business. That would be stupid, and yes, funny as you say. The point is that the UT benefits financially by being designated the Official forum for Microsoft's uses, like the wishlist.

And now Michel is "extremely sad" that noone wanted to promote the UT's services in the User Group Leader circle? Sorry, but I think its a valid opinion to hold. Especially because there are plenty of non-corporate ways of doing this, particularlly FoxCentral.NET, the Fox.Wikis, and the gajillion other resources that do not stand to gain financially (like Craig's personal website)

>>You may want to research this more before you make accusations like that.
>It seems impossible to research, especially when the now generally parrotted (critics-wise)line is "as a business and need an account". That is so transparent as being phoney.

It would be impossible to research if you never left the UT in your quest for answers.
