Very true Lani. I too see no point in having much to do with closed commercial grids, though I do visit a couple of them due to having old accounts and liking the grid owners, and for a couple of live performers I like.
But being held hostage by some grids old tech style commercialism nonsense is a waste of time.
The only commercial grid I actually favor is Kitely since they at least allow OARs and say they will open to HG soon. I think it will be fun to HG into and out of Kitely, the first commercial grid to do this.
So I used the vote twice option here.
