For all you critics of Logos pricing maybe we could analyze your pay and see if you are worth your current salary. You charge how much for your service or widget? That is way too much. You should clearly be paid X for what you do. Keep in mind we critics of your service are ignorant of the hidden costs involved but it is OBVIOUS you are overcharging. Until you become Bob's accountant maybe you should be a bit more charitable to them on their pricing. I'm in sales and I assure you people do not understand the hidden costs of my industry.

    I know when I go to Cadillac dealership, I feel overpaid. These prices!!

    People sure don't like Logos being criticized. Especially when the customers are dad-gum-wrong!

    It doesn't have to a matter of one of us being right and the other wrong about the pricing.  The only issue is whether or not something is worth the price to you.  I would never pay $40,000 plus for any automobile, no matter how much money I had.  To me any car is just a way to get from point A to point B.  All I want is dependability in my transportation.  But that doesn't mean that someone else is wrong to do so.  Again, it is all a matter of what is it worth to you.

    If Logos is not worth the price to you, don't buy it.  It is a free country.  Logos is free to charge what they feel is right, and we are free to buy or not to buy based on our judgment of the worth of the program.

    If enough people agree with you, either Logos will lower the price, or they will determine that it is not profitable to produce the product.  If enough of us disagree with you, well, so be it.

    Why should we be hostile about it, and label people as "dad-gum wrong"?

    For me, Logos is costly, but so are paper books.  It is costly, but for me the cost is well worth the investment.  Does that mean I am "dad-gum-wrong"?

    Oh ... I'm just referring to the desire for Christians to pound other Christians.  It's interesting.  It's sure important.

    You don't often weigh in against those critical of Logos...........

    Why weigh in when others respond to them? [:^)]

    You're right.

    The company I worked with used the mantra to always assume the customer was right. Not that they are. But as a matter of minimal respect.

    There is nothing lost listening to frustration. Nothing lost if what they say isn't true. The only win, is when money changes hands. A deal is made.

    The critcality is pleasing a customer.

    I don't mind Logos being criticized if

    • the author of the criticism has actually read some of the supporting and conflicting opinions
    • the author uses logic other than self-interest
    • the author does not post the same argument in 10 separate threads
    • the author does not argue so far out of their area of expertise to make themselves sound like idgits.

    I'd rather that critics speak accurately, knowledgeably and convincingly so that Logos can take appropriate action.
