Because they made the decision to go with granitecanyon while wearing their
bean counter hat. Somebody else mentioned that $10/granitecanyon user/year
would go a long way toward solving their problems. I don't know if that's

number, I would tend to think that most people are being penny wise and
pound foolish to not seek out something more reliable.

That puzzles me as well. You'd think they would at least sell ad space on
