All of this mess underscores what people forget about this entire marketplace (Renderosity, Poserpros, etc.)...that many of these sites are owned and run by people who aren't trained to be professional business operators. Many of them have accidentally stumbled into this relatively young source of revenue and they haven't got any education in how to properly run a business or deal with customers. It's a home-based hobby gone wild. I especially felt this during the whole Poserpros fiasco. Any one posting from the beleaguered Mehndi confirmed how unprofessional and amateurish she was in handling the unfortunate affair. Therefore, we should always exercise an attitude of "buyer beware" when dealing with anything having to do with the Poser aftermarket. Renderosity isn't operated by Harvard Business School geniuses, despite their fancy online storefront and pretty masthead. But, that said, it IS part of the charm of this whole Poser aftermarket that it's run by reg'lar folks, so you have to take the good with the bad. For every Renderosity Renda blunder (or even the 3D Commune "Sarah" hiccup, etc.) there's a PhilC & Kamilche with their Wardrobe Wizard success. I say that we quit pontificating and being indignant, slap Renda and the 'osity on the wrists for bad behavior, consider the deed done and keep stumbling forward. Life's too short. -jjsemp
