bonni says: "Hey, this is FUN.... !" I don't really see it that way, unfortunately. Christmas is very tight for a lot of authors and journalists this year due to the magazine publishing slump. The more publications that get the idea that paying the content creators a fair value for their work, is something they can avoid doing, the worse it gets for a lot of freelancers whose professions these publications are inadvertantly helping to ruin. But hey, these threads now become 'poor Renderosity being trashed' threads... because the relevant posts that blew it out of proportion and away from the original, very valid concerns have been conveniently deleted... so I'll just bow out now before I get really physically ill watching the pity party. I have Christmas preparations to attend to now anyway.
