I knew when I read your opening remarks you had opened a can of worms. So far the responses have been pretty tame, however, they can get ugly (try a search for messages about DAZ and free and you'll see what I mean). DAZ's weekly freebie is not simply a philanthropic effort but has a marketing purpose, that is to get customers into the habit of coming to their site and buying their products. If visitors become disillusioned with the offerings they will not come back, not be customers, and take their money elsewhere. I don't think you're out of line with your comment. I hope DAZ reads it and takes it to heart. I happen to agree with the original sentiments and must say I am visiting their site less often, not only because of the uninteresting free stuff, but uninteresting other products too (one of the few less than thrilled Platinum members). However, I have seen these comments and this situation before and I am confident that things will change for the better.
