Fine sentiments, and I wholeheartedly agree (and yes, I ponied up the cash for my personal copy).
May I just add that I have found SuSE's manuals to be the very best of any distro that I've tried, and well worth paying for. Even putting aside the issues you have -- quite validly -- raised above, having such fine printed documentation for an Open Source offering is something worthy of our financial support.

Scott, I assume you intended this for the list. I hate not having the automatic response to list available. I don't know if you were around when that was forced upon us by someone intent on disrupting this list. As you say, the documentation is very good. It took me a while to adjust my brain to using them. They take a different approach than I was used to. I am sorry to say I haven't had the time I would like to work with the 7.2 distribution. I do plan to come back to spending more time with the guts of the OS. I've been hacking JavaScript lately. (Don't laugh if you haven't tried it. It's not nearly as easy as I expected.) My intent is to develop the skills necessary for presenting complex information is a highly accessible form. We should try to keep this thread alive. If someone sees it go to sleep for a day, give it a kick. SuSE are too dignified to promote their own product on the list, but that doesn't mean we can't do it for them. -- Open Source Software depends on your support.
