That pretty much sums it up. Thanks for a more realistic view of what many people are fearing. The sad thing is that most of the people buying these systems don't ask questions, they just look at the system purchase as "keeping up with the Jones".
My kids have always insisted upon buying shoes that cost a half-paycheck, knowing that a $20 pair of shoes from Wal*Mart will cover their feet just fine. It's not what the shoes do, it's how they look or what they saw on TV/magazine ads. They don't know if these shoes are good or bad; they just absolutely, positively MUST have them because that's what everyone else has.
Back to the original subject: Then, the company who sold the product they insisted upon having now becomes a thief when it comes time to pay their annual dues. "Why didn't you tell us this?" is the question, which should be followed by "I tried to tell you, but you didn't want to listen".
Just like with kids, people who insist upon buying products such as these need to be treated accordingly.
