Because thewishmaster stated that he was 'new to this' which when I read it implyed that he was probably new to Poser. Anton then ASKED, and thewishmaster ANSWERED. Metacreations is old, and while lots bought it ages ago and have the tag line, a new person would not have that line. Seemed like a completely logical thing to ask. While wrong some people think having illegally downloaded programs that they have gotten are fine too. Often illegal poser programs have illegally gotten items with it, was not the case this time. Like I said, I thought it too, someone beat me to asking and it was a non issue once answered. usually A+B=C, not in this case, but had it not been asked, and answered that would not have been known. Post #29 is not harsh, rude, and I thought was written in a polite way of asking someone for information. Yet the following discussion had teeth with venom.
