You Don't Know What You Got Till It's Gone

I remember this song called Big Yellow Taxi originally by Joni Mitchell in 1970 but covered by the rock band, Counting Crows in 2002. This particular song has the lyrics "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you got till it's gone", and I think that it is very apt for what I am about to tell you. If you are on the group-calling plan with Phillip, then you probably have received his latest email. Phillip has decided to disband the group-calling plan, effective October 15 because some users have been late with payments or have been making negative comments and he thinks that it is no longer worth his while to maintain the account.

My question is, why would anyone burden Phillip by paying your bills late or even worse bad mouthing him? No one was forced to join up and you could leave any time. The billing was transparent and Phillip has maintained that he did not take any profits (and actually had to use his own money to cover for late-payers), so what is the problem? Did not our religion teach us to repay debts and to not bad mouth each other? Now we have lost an important convenience and I don't blame Phillip for making this decision. For those of you who have caused this conundrum, please repay what ever amount that you owed ASAP. If you have bad mouthed him, then maybe you should seek forgiveness since Raya is only a few days away. I remember what my Ustaz told me when I was at religious school. He said that Allah will forgive all of our sins, even major ones except those that involves us wronging a fellow human being. In the latter case, we must ask the person for forgiveness ourselves.
