I have just started to notice, even some really good modelers that were here are now gone, or you hardly ever see them anymore. Some real talent has been pushed out, or just lost in this shuffle.I feel bad about them. I started this thread because I wanted to know from the people who come here what they think, or have they noticed some of the greats are gone. Over this past week, Mike and I received 2 emails from 2 other modelers. They got together and wrote us a letter, to summarize it, they told us that because we offer so many free models that they have lost alot of money due to the fact that they sell their models. Alot of their models are similar to ours. Mike and I really took this letter to heart. With everything else happening to us this week, we wanted to stop and really examine these 2 people. Good, kind and hard working people, they addressed it kindly to us, but are indeed upset. So this is why I asked you good people....and you modelers, merchants etc. What are your views on this? We do not want to take money away from anyone, we thought the pie was big enough...but maybe we were wrong. We are honestly trying to get some good solid answers...Please advise us. Thank you. Sharen
