Dear John,
We're exact opposites. You have always wanted to blend in as many features as possible, to be perfect for everybody. I have always wanted to stick with the core solutions that are important to me. What's funny is, it took me so long to realize that we're so different. I want to decide what's right for me and my network and you want to charge me out the wazoo for every feature under the sun.

It has been a devastating blow to realize how much I could have saved over the years using open source networking solutions from Vyatta. And even worse, to come to the realization that you've managed to collect thousands from me in support, upgrades and your fancy "specialized hardware" over the years when I could have been doing the same thing with standard x86 servers. If somewhere during the course of our relationship, you confused my re-orders for loyalty and my component upgrades for love.... YOU WERE WRONG!
