The 717-300 exists in the form of the 737-600
Exactly. And it's even more of a slow-selling dog than a stretched 717 probably would've been.
Has Boeing sold -600s to anyone other than SAS?

Boeing has not anounced that they will close it and that's not what I wrote.
If I may take the liberty of quoting your original post: "...and Boeing's answer was that they will stop producing B717..."

So, that IS what you wrote, verbatim.
What would youread into Boeings comment to a customer that they are currently not taking orders for B717?

And now please look at Spirit's decesion! I think that should be a loud and clear sign.

I would first like to see a documented source for such a comment. I have not read or heard of it anywhere but in your post, with no attribution.
