Profiles going away!?
Did everyone else get this e-mail from Netflix:
" We wanted to let you know we will be eliminating Profiles, the feature that allowed you to set up separate DVD Queues under one account, effective September 1, 2008."
Why?
"While it may be disappointing to see Profiles go away, this change will help us continue to improve the Netflix website for all our customers."
Okay, how does Profiles going away improve Netflix? Am I the only one in household with multiple people each of whom want a different queue for tracking, rating, reviews, etc. Furthermore, according to the FAQ, there's no way to even transfer a Profile to a new separate account. So that means if you spent time rating tons of movies under one profile, all of that is lost! This seems like a huge disruption of service. In what way is this good? And there's not even any way I can see to match the equivalent functionality once they go away.
This to me is a huge negative change to the service for no visible reason.

Traffic had slowed down immensely, I had though the thread dead. Apparently it is immortal.

typical cut back by a large corporation to save money . We lose they continue to make the big bucks. It is the same old story.It will never change . Boycott is the only solution . Are you ready for that?

Sure! Go ahead and ruin a useless rant.
He boycotts Netflix, we'll get his flock to boycott his church.
It's only 3 followers, won't take much work on our part.
