Very nice post, Dave. And since you didn’t call anyone out, I think your post is just fine – but I do appreciate you urging people to take action 
No action now means you WILL be raped by EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM before the year is out, take my word for it. Won’t bother me as I will no longer have an aff income after Sept. 1st. I could just stay quiet and let them have their way – but I do not like being raped, and I don’t think any of you deserve this for the efforts you have put in over the years.
Anyone who is thinking of delaying action, I urge you to reconsider. Once the juggernaut starts moving, there will be no turning back – you MUST let your opinion be heard now if you are in disagreement with these actions – the wait and see will be the lethal blow which suddenly changes your life from the one you have grown accustomed to. Please do NOT wait.
Like Lou said, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and I realize that some of you have “commitments” of one sort or another – but keep in mind that they just broke their commitment to you and everyone else will likely follow. I’m sure if you are creative enough you will find a way to voice your opinions, even if it does not mean you are removing them from the site immediately.
But do it now. I am the world’s biggest procrastinator, and in this case I can certainly afford to let things be the way they are – but I have chosen not to stay silent and I hope that the rest of you will stand up for your own rights.
