I read this just after having played a bit with Poser 5 and, after a couple of nice renders I made, having thought "this application is much better than many people think, and it doesn't deserve all the bashing it had to suffer lately". Just the time to think this, and i read of your farewell. This makes me sad and, having been around also in 1999, it sounds like a strange dvu of what happened then, with your farewell at the time and the promise that you would have still visited the Poser list (then at Onelist.com) from time to time... With one difference. Then, it sounded like there was a way to continuation. Now, it sounds like a final chapter. Damn, you didn't deserve that. Poser is you, under many respects. Anyway, best of luck for your future initiatives, and my best regards. - Orio
