While using attractive words is important, don't lose the focus of what
you are trying to say. To me, playing devil's advocate, this sentence
raises more questions than it answers:

If I want to support, do I have to make use of the user community or can I
go straight to the companies?

How is "qualified, dedicated" measured? Do the dedicated supporters sit
around waiting for my call all day? What does this actually mean?

Why are there no short-standing companies? No dynamic potential for
newcomers in this area? What is "long" anyway?

Etc.
