'the best way I say thanks to DAZ is by spending a hell of a lot of money over there' That's one way of saying thanks, but the people at DAZ are human beings just like us (I know because I speak to them regularly), and all humans like to hear the word 'Thanks'. I doubt if the DAZ staff are trying to be millionaires. Most of them are working joes, on a salary just like the rest of us, so it helps to say thanks out loud now and again. mac
