But then why would anybody pay for the Technical Support option
offered by RSI if they could ask the same question for free here,
and get an answer from the RSI people? :)

Can't we sort of restrict participation of the employees of companies A and B
:-) to a certain area, say employees of company A or B can only answer
questions about products A or B respectively if this questions are from the
range "How do I do this or that?". We ( I say "we" because people from the both
companies claim that it is a "user-driven forum") can lift the ban for a month
or so and see what happens.

The problem is that one man's technical issue is another man's
marketing hype or slander. Historically, employees of company A
felt that just about every article posted by employees of company
B were attempts at marketing or selling company B's product. And
company A complained quite vigorously about this imagined breach
of netiquette. Of course, something may have changed, but this
has been an ongoing problem of this newsgroup since its inception.

Just to be redundant, I also think it would useful if RSI people responded to
appropriate posts.
