In the old days I had to walk uphill to school... BOTH WAYS! I had to suck oxygen out of rocks do you hear? And I was damn glad to have em! Every community, hobby or group has they their happy fantasy memories of "the good old days" when the streets were paved with gold and the trees all dripped caviar. It's usually hogwash. I appreciate that those who do freestuff give of their time, and I always drop them a thank you note if I wind up using any of their stuff. Though thats not very often. At the risk of being a complainer let's face facts...99.9% of the free stuff for poser sucks. It has always sucked. Thats the nature of free things. Most free software sucks for instance. Would I ever heap abuse on a free stuff maker or send them hate mail? Nope. I would simply bit bucket their offering and remind myself that I had no reason to expect it to be any better than it was. As with many other current issues this is not black and white, us or them, for or against. Most free items are bad, they are hard or impossible to install and their licensing terms bite... and I STILL appreciate that someone sent them adrift into the 'net with good intentions. But let's not weep for the days of milk and honey - cause they probably werent the way you remember them.
