Others had already tried pointing out you were creating a strawman/apples and oranges argument. I just tried illustrating that same point in a different way.   I think your original post was a little misleading if you don't want people to explain why one gets more grief than the other. In fact, I'm starting to suspect that you really just wanted complain about some fans who were upset at innovations that did not upset you. I think it should go without saying that some fans are fine with changes made. That says nothing, however about the nature of the changes.Moreover, I really don't understand your invalidate argument. What do you mean "invalidate?" I really don't understand your use of the word nor do I think that anyone is arguing older products are "invalid". I think the complaint is that they are "incompatible."When discussing the latest model of car, if I dislike the new diesel engine and the shape of the body, I'm not going to be convinced its a wonderful car by those that tell me I can switch out the engine and rebuild the body myself. Moreover, if I have a garage full of parts that have worked on a variety of models, I'm going to be a little put out when the manufacturer switches to a different engine which uses none of the old parts. I'm going to be even more upset if I'm an enthusiast who finds out that the company discontinued the manufacturing of Last Year's engine parts and, even worse, stopped the distribution of repair manuals for Last Year's car because they are only going to support and offer repairs for the very latest model exclusively. In fact, I likely will end up taking my business to the car manufacturer who is still building those older parts and offering technical support for the older engine.</blockquote>
