Fair enough but as I tried (and obviously failed) to caveat, these are not shutdowns I really knew about. I clearly wasn't a user of those products so I didn't feel any pain when they went away. Perhaps my claim is weak and my knowledge limited but I find it more ridiculous to claim the inevitability of a closure before a product is even being used. NB I feel I should add that I'm not going to be a user of this product as I won't hand over email access. However, I can imagine many people who don't think the same finding it very useful.
