Thanks ! Way i see it is that not everyone can or should be an expert in character modeling. But that doesn't mean you can't become good at other kinds of stuff like lighting, texturing, animation etc. Personally i'm a reasonably decent modeler, but i rarely get the time to be able to create something like a whole realistic human. So i use premade stuff to learn the other stuff till i do find time. Whatever else you think about Poser, you have to admit that it certainly has some excellent (and cheap) content available which can be used outside the proggie also. eg here with V3, i plan to practice how to do realistic skin shading and rigging a high detail model in LW. Maybe create some short anims also...
