Sorry, sorry - I was just ticked off. Re-reading my post, I don't know why anyone would feel alienated, but I can certainly see how they'd be confused - sorry for not stating it more clearly!
David is my husband. For us, this is an annoying development because we maintain separate queues through our profiles, and one of those profiles is just going to go away in September. It happens that my profile is the "extra" one and his is the "main" one, and so all of my movie ratings will just disappear on 1 September, as will my queue - I will have to manually add the movies in my queue to his queue. Since we're married and have generally similar taste in movies, it won't be so hard for us to manage the queue together, but it will be an annoyance. For people who are roommates or what have you and share the service, this is going to be a much bigger problem. Ratings of movies and the recommendations generated by those ratings will be meaningless when there is only one profile shared by two roommates with disparate tastes, and it will be much harder for them to equitably share the account from a single profile. I'm angry because it seems like a ploy by Netflix to try to make people in that situation pay for two accounts instead of one, and because it just seems dumb to me to take a step backward, service- and innovation-wise.
