   If you're making good software, you'll provide support for all things that interface with it reasonably.  If you're making bad software, you'll find any excuse to deny support, because your tools or your knowledge is insufficient to the task at hand.

      It's never easy holding yourself to a higher standard and it becomes tempting to give yourself an out to let those standards lapse, but that's not making quality software.

         It's for that reason my grand and probably not entirely achievable in my lifetime (it seems to be drawing pretty short, lately) goal for postActiv is to have it speak as many different protocols as possible and to as many different social networks as possible.  That requires programming the software to handle a variety of use cases where different feature sets are available, but that's hardly some huge insurmountable programming problem.

            In that situation, you're giving the operator the ultimate authority on what features they want to use; what they enable and what they disable, and they can then likewise control what they connect with and what they do not.
