Hello Neil,
You appear to keep dodging the question.
If STP reporting was available in the desktop version previously why does a user have to use the online version now. Why can't they continue as they have in the past.
Let say your 2001 Toyota is still totally operational and suits your needs perfectly, you happily drive it everywhere within the traffic regulations. Then Toyota releases a new model with lane control. Would you think it fair if Toyota rendered the steering in your existing vehicle unusable and insisted you by the latest model with lane control? I think not.
No matter how often you respond with the company STP spiel presenting it over & over again does not make it ethical or fair.
