I s'pect, once this all comes down to it, we'll see more of a middle ground. The pricing structure that Jack outlined already seems to be *slighly* backtracked on. This seems to be in this paragraph:

"Over the next few days we will be continuing to review the feedback and keep the dialogue flowing with as many of you as we can. If you have something to say, the forum is the best place to say it. It is clear that some Openspaces are being used as they were intended originally, so we recognise that there are different levels of usage that we need to account for."

I say seems, cuz well, you know how th' blog posts are always worded.

As to th' use of LDPW an Openspace, well, that seems like one hand not knowin what the other was doin', which is so, so often the trouble with LL, no?

At any rate, this whole situation has caused more damage than I suspect LL realizes. It goes much further than a price increase, but into how it was presented, how the teams communicate, how much research is done before major announcements, how feedback of those annoucements is handled, and yes, how quickly LL can damage the trust of its users.
