I can't believe this has gotten this far. Here's exactly what I wrote: "Just a FYI, the download only includes the Grrl mapped version, and instructions on how to easily make a V3 mapped version. Why? Simple. The download gets pretty big for dialup users, and most of the high speed users already have the mad skillz to do the conversion. (It's only two minor changes in text editor.) " I made the post, and the reason I made it, is because some dialup customers I have encountered of late are very new to poser, and haven't had as much exposure to poser knowledge as some of the higher speed poser community. That is an honest statement, and anyone who takes offense to it can just lump it. If you want to "read into" it that I was specifically targetting you to offend you, That's really your issue, not mine. And I even replied that there are exceptions to every rule, but I remember my dialup days, and there are many webpages that loaded mega slow, and many 3d objects and tutorials I had to pass on that I could have learned from, because the download would have taken me so long. I never said "All dialup users are stupid jerks, who can't figure anything out for themselves." And I never alluded to trying to slam dialup users at all. This is another great case of someone offering a freebie, and trying to think of people not fortunate enough to have high speed connections, and just getting dumped on for any old reason. Maybe I should have said, "When offering a freebie to people, and trying to be considerate of dial-up users, some are trolls, who will go out of their way to try to create a problem." Sorry if I'm not "politically correct" enough for some people, but they will just have to learn to get over themselves.
Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
