I've used Poser for two years, and I still consider myself a newbie. There's no shame in it, and I am sorry when people get impatient with a valid question from someone new to the site. No one I know was born with the manual memorized, and the manual is very user unfriendly in many areas. For every self-proclaimed Poser expert, there are a hundred or more people still trying to figure things out. I think intelligent creatures are always in a process of learning...when the learning stops, so does life and creativity. So I tend to agree with you.
