Volusion is Special

Harken back to when you were in early elemental school. You probably had one kid in your class who was, um, special.  Not the exceptional kind of special. No, more like the mommy-accidentally-dropped-him-on-his-head-37-times-during-his-first-year-of-life kind of Special (with a capital "S"). Think Stephen Lynch singing about Special Ed; that kind of Special.




Now, I remember we had a Special kid in my class when I was in elementary school, who was with us all the way through high school. In 2nd grade, we picked on that poor kid mercilessly. However, by the time we were in high school, we had quit picking on him (matter of fact, most of us kind of protected him a bit).

Why did we quit picking on him?

Simple. There was no challenge to it anymore. It was too easy. What fun is there in picking on a defenseless person without the faculties to defend himself?

It is for this reason that I've pretty much given up on picking on Volusion on this blog. Just like that Special kid that we picked on in 2nd grade, I eventually got bored with it, because it was too easy.

Does that give Volusion a free pass? Of course not. Eventually, they'll work themselves out of business because word will get around about how deficient their software and service really is.

And what will Volusion need to do? Just like Billy Beane in Moneyball, they'll have to "adapt or die."

But I'm tired of bashing them. Not because they don't need it.  They do, believe me.  It's just that it isn't all that fun anymore.

Its just too easy.
