At least now we have a reliable benchmark of 6 months to create an original figure. I was thinking it would take even longer, but 6 months sounds o.k. So we can be on alert in the unlikely event that somebody will make the mistake of saying they "created" theirs in only two months. The way I see it, one of these dubious figures has come out every 9 to 12 months, for the last few years. Somebody with an eagle eye spots the rip-off. Then there are apologies all around, the website in question gets taken over or modified or shut down, and people go back to their routines. Once the heat has died down a little, the next dubious figure comes out. It would also be a good idea to work something out with Daz so the Renda thing can be pulled. Having that albatross around their neck is just going to make things uncomfortable, even if it serves a good purpose, to continually remind everyone not to take shortcuts like that.
