capitolm94, I appreciate your input to the thread, welcome to the forum.

Don't think for a moment that this is all that we argue over :-)

This debate has been going on forever and some of us (myself included) get grumpy hearing it over and over. The problem stems from a year or so ago when URC made the conscious effort to control the distribution of their professional products and software and attempted to combat the unauthorized sales namely on the internet. It has gotten better but as you've noticed its still not as tight as RTI. And that creates problems such as mentioned in this thread.
