You are so totally correct!

One of the models put to Brian was just that we paid for annual patches.
$150 each per year or so. I believe part of the problem here was the
agreement he had with CA but I am sure there are creative ways around
that.

The issue for Brian is that Vulcan is all his - no royalty to CA - hence
it makes commercial sense for him to concentrate on Vulcan and that is
exactly what he has done. The reason he originally opted not to have a
VO only subscription in the early days was because HE KNEW he would not
get enough support for Vulcan. Most of us only had a passing interest in
Vulcan because we wanted VO supported first.

So VOPS was used to fund Vulcan (instead of the agreed 50:50
arrangement) on the grounds that Brian assumed we'd all just cross over
to the Dark Side when the time came and would be subsequently happy.
Well history has proven me, Ed, Oskar and others right. It isn't what
the majority wanted.
