Just my 2p-worth (-2p, 'cos it's free) :-)) I've not yet put anything up for the free-stuff, mainly 'cos I've never created anything that I felt was good enough. I have, however downloaded lots. Some of the stuff I've downloaded I've looked at, decided it was rubbish, deleted it and ignored it. They were a very small minority. Some of it is still stitting on my HD, waiting to see if it can be used. Some of it I still can't get to load properly (usually Poser and due to reversed normals - I know how to fix that but don't have the patience to do so yet). Most of it I use in varying quantities. And I'm extremely grateful to all those contributors who have spent all that time and effort and then released their creations for free. (Alas, I have too many freebies to be able to provide "thank-you" notes to everyone who provided the, but I ALWAYS try to give credit, on the rare occasions I post anything, that includes contributions.) I have (on a single occasion) e-mailed a content-provider specifying a problem and asking what I should do about it. The provider responded very quickly with an answer. Being polite always gets better results than flying off the handle:-) OT: the modern equivalent of "Don't look a gift-horse in the mouth" might be "Don't measure the thickness of the gas-pedal cover on a free car"? Cheers, Diolma
