Degradation of the list

This list has become total garbage. Apparently at some point Omni decided
that this list was no longer for people to discuss features, problems, and
workarounds for OmniWeb, but that they would instead turn it into unpaid
tech support.
When you go to the Download page for Omniweb, at the bottom of the
instructions, it tells people that if they are having problems they should
send email to the OmniWeb Users Mailing List. That's absurd. If Omni is
expecting people to purchase OmniWeb, they should be providing tech support
for their own products themselves, not dumping it off on unsuspecting list
members.
Omni should put up a FAQ on their page explaining what Terminal.app is and
where to find it, as well as directions on how to download and extract their
browser, since these seem to be the most common questions, and *remove* the
direct link to the mailing list. At a minimum, Omni should have announced to
the list that they were changing the purpose to be tech support for users
that don't feel like reading instructions and would rather instead just
click on the mailto: link.
This is really irresponsible on Omni's part. Tech support should be their
problem.
