Okay, I revised some of the language, locked away some of the holes, but I won't post this until I get a show of hands for its support. Yes, I know the language is a bit heavy and complicated, yes I do realize that there might be no reply. But it's worth a try, and if so many people have shown interest, why the hell not? So yeah, do go through it, make any final suggestions you please. And thank you, Mihnea To Whom It May Concern, We represent a group of 3D artists who are interested in seeing Vector Capital revive the development for the Bryce program from its newly-bought Corel Corporation. Many of us come from different online communities, either as established artists or growing enthusiasts, altogether people with a serious interest in this piece of software that we have grown to love. For the weekend warrior as well as the dedicated professional, Bryce fills a void as a mid-level and affordable rendering solution, used not only for landscaping but also in a variety of other fields. Indeed, there is nothing out there that Bryce cannot do. Its basis is as stable as the undersigned, scores of individuals who truly find satisfaction in the program and its countless applications. All our attempts towards Corel, all our pleas for keeping the development of Bryce alive have largely failed due to Corel's shaky financial situation. We hope that with its takeover by Vector Capital, the idea of continuing the development of Bryce 5 to other versions will be considered seriously, not only from the perspective of its large and vibrant community, yearning for its prolonged life, but also from the point of view of financial viability. We respectfully ask for an answer from Vector Capital as to the direction it plans to take Bryce development, either by continuing it, or by selling it to parties that have already manifested interest in the application. In any case, we would not like to see Bryce simply die, forgotten as some pipe dream or impossible venture, not after so much work has been put in it, not after such a community has been built upon it, with members and literature and everything else that clearly show the viability of continuing the life of this product. We could not possibly bear the weight of the discontinued label, corporate language for the destruction of our engine for imagination. We anxiously await a reply from Vector Capital acknowledging the receipt of this petition and that they will likewise return a clear response as to the direction of any future Bryce development. Thank you.

oh, and as for the reason why I kept much of the language unchanged... I believe that the present form allows a bit more imagination to enter the reading, a bit of -if i may say- poetry. we're not corporate jargon junkies, we're artists... yeah ;) Drac

I wouln't know any suggestions to improve it. I think it's very good.

I think this version has hit the nail on the head - Perfect! They would have to be totally dim to ignore something like this and I really do hope they sit up and listen. Catlin

Looks good - says it all for me.

No suggestions from me--it looks good. Now, lets hope it has the intended effect...

Great. :) Go ahead and send it! :)

Give us a link when it's up!

Folk were even asking about it over at 3DCommune!

count me in! sounds great!

I think this is very well written and gets the point across. Count me in too!

I've just signed it. Wow 51 signatures already! :)
