Perhaps my use of the word "value-less" was a poor choice of vocabulary. Fair enough, I'll own that. Debating degrees of "value" is a tangential diversion from the deeper point I was making. Somehow, I suspect your aware of the point I was making. Attempting to continue using a product or service that one is no longer entitled to has nothing to do with economic rationality.

So contrary to what you might think, yea, I "REALLY do understand" exactly what you are attempting to do, I simply don't agree. There is actually a difference.
