Good point! I like what I see so far in Kick. It's just given the level of pain Bench has just caused me, my businesses, and a couple very unlucky employees in my office + the financial cost = I have to make super duper sure Kick is not related to/involved with Bench in any way shape or form.

If they asked Kick to be listed as an alternative in the closure email or asked them to do a discount nbd I have no issue there. I just want the full story given Bench events.

I am not related to any of the parties in this dolce, but I did discontinue a product once.

On the shutdown page I listed some alternatives people could try. I found them via Google, but i didn't first try them or talk to them.

They were really just a helpful hint for folk wanting to change to get started. (The thing I was killing was a product not a service so it wasn't going to actually stop working, it was just no longer being updated.)

So, in this case, a simple statement of fact (as above) would be good enough for me. But feel free to do your due diligence.
