Hey, I'll point out that the user's of Poser aren't much better themselves. This is a common dynamic used to validate a group. For an example, within the poser community, we have an ongoing issue with the Koshini figure. Been some awesome art out there, panned for the very same reason -- the tool used was Koshini, not a more realistic figure -- sometimes by folks using equally stylized figures such as AnimeDoll. There are some amazing picutres out there made with the P4 and P5 figures, as well -- but look at the community response to them: "Dork", "butt-ugly Judy", etc. Moving out of the 3D realm, it's not uncommon for painters who work in acrylics to feel somewhat inferior to those who work in oils -- yet acrylics are faster, cheaper, and more reliable in color than oils are. And then, of course, the oil folks get into really intense debates over the pigments used and the method of mixing. IT really is a case of Talent, not tools -- but as humans we seek to "better" ourselves over others, and often the tool is all we have to hold onto as the standard for our flag. Since I have neither talent nor a standard, I just go about happily defining the point at which thw two don't matter -- I like it, so it's good enough for me, lol

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
