It is not fair to Judge/label complainers as Consumer leeches. It's really simple, folks! If you make something that is probably not universally needed, but "Maybe some folks will find this handy..." then give it away and see. If it took you a lot of time and effort and talent, make some money. I am delighted to pay a reasonable fee for something I need that actually works. (Some of the things on BBay are not things that actually work, IMHO, and it's a shame you can't find that out until you buy it...) As far as complainers go, if you have a complaint, voice it. Run it up the flagpole and see who salutes. If nobody salutes, you're probably an asshole and need to get in line. If people agree with you, you may have a valid point that needs to be explored/acted on. I am a person who loves to complain, and I am quick to be the first to do so. This puts me in a postion to have to apologize a lot, but you know what? When I reverse my opinion, people KNOW I am sincere. If I just went around agreeing with everything, my opinion wouldn't be worth very much would it? The sad thing about this thread is that people seem to assume that everyone has ten extra dollars. That were all just tightwads. The truth is, most of us don't have ten extra dollars, let alone 24.99. I am of the opinion that Allie's Hair is worth 100 dollars. It is totally useful and needed, and if it cost that, i would pay it no hesitation. However, I get a laugh out of Bryce Sky Presets for sale. I am a total buffoon at Bryce, but can manage to get the sky looking 100% the way I want it if I spend ten minutes in the sky lab. Sell good stuff. Make silly stuff free. -Darth_Logice
