Not to disagree with you, because essentially it is the same. However, one small tidbit of information is, in fact, different.
It is the analogy of this, and possibly I have become confused by your statement, but here's how I read it.

* The first car = vbulletin.
* The license = given to us when we purchase vbulletin, not before.
* We learn to drive it = learning after we purchase vbulletin and obtain a license, not before - otherwise it would be an illegal copy of vbulletin and considered piracy.
* We follow a course = there is no course for learning vbulletin, only help from help topics.

Other than that, I agree with you. This is only my opinion and as I stated before, I could have been confused by what you have said and totally misconstrued your statement.
