Also, let's set a few things straight:

1)"Yet, time and time and time since then you have attacked me and bad-mouthed me, simply because I support the company which gives us the basic tool we use."

WRONG. Your getting me confused with the converse of yourself. I've NEVER attacked you outright, and when I have spoken negatively about you it was in response to an attack on me OR someone else. Like the guy who had mental issues (i.e., a REAL handicap) and you totally "Hauked" him because his grammar was poor. You basically told him if he could not write correctly, not to bother posting because it annoyed you. Should I embarass you with a link to the thread??

2. I also support DAZ. I support the model makers (at least those who follow the rules). Who do you support?

I don't know what kind of question that is, sorry. I support all of those. I've never had an unkind word for DAZ and constantly compliment their staff, products, and ethics. I use lots of software, and praise the ones that work, and critize and ask questions about improvements for the ones that don't. After Effects works without a glitch, so I have nothing but good things to say about it. The same can be said for 3DSMax, Photoshop, Bryce (mostly), Cool3D, Storm2, Particle Illusion, Sound Forge, and the list goes on.

Sorry but Poser 5, and more importantly CL, was a serious act of betrayal, dishonesty, and disregard for the community. Those who have not seen that are blinded by some devotion to a company that has not earned it. With that said, I use Poser 5 (and won't go back to 4 unless I have to) on a nearly daily basis, and enjoy 85% of it. And I commend the tech support people, as well as some of the skeleton crew that are trying to pick up the pieces after the debacle.

3. "You can keep your falsehoods and your snide allegations to yourself!"

Wow, ever heard "that's the pot calling the kettle black!" LMAO!! Let's look at POST #9 ... the very definition of snide, with not one constructive comment relating to the original post.

4)"If you so much enjoy tearing things apart and criticizing what you cannot do ..."

Totally false. When have I ever criticized something for what I cannot do. I post to help people when I can, especially when I see posts about animation as that is my area of concentration. And I ask my fair share of questions too. I make comments when I see work I like, and gracious freebies as well. I hold my tongue when I see something I don't like. You have no basis for this comment whatsoever.
