Truth be known campers, all you need do is look at the history of the RMP's policy. They announce something, pretend to take input, implement whatever they want anyway, and aside from the few who whine about it in the fora, the rest of the merchantile group just shrug and carry on. Why? Because it's the biggest place that sells by volume, where being a merchant doesn't take much skill, experience, or anything beyond making sure that the zip file puts all the bits where they belong. So, very few leave, and fewer still bother to strike out on their own. Sorry guys, but I just don't see anything in the main issue that is going to change, so let me just turn prophet and temporarily become the RMP mouthpiece for a moment: "If you're a merchant, you'll either suck it down or go away." So what are you all, the merchants, going to do about that? I already know the answer: Nothing. Nothing at all. Most of you will tweak the images to conform to the new policy, and hurriedly post it all back up into the RMP upload bin, hoping that it didn't eat too much out of your sales while the items were offline. You'll grumble and whine, but otherwise most of you will bow down and say "yes Massa Tim! I's gonna gets that fixed up for ye right away Massa Tim!" whenever you're told to do so. The last time anybody ever proved me wrong on that note, PoserPros was born ...and that was how many years ago? I'd like to see if anyone proves me wrong here as well, but note that I won't be holding my breath. -- PS: The whole Anton thing? Hell, I've no need or bother with any "vendetta" - I'm just giving him a friendly poke in the ribs at the most, and let me make this nice and bold so no one misses it: I agree with what he said on this issue with the RMP policy (and I've said that in some form or another twice now). It is asinine. As for the rest, well, I'll just sit right here and wait for the inevitable overreactions, overwrought cries, etc etc to come pouring in as they appear to have been doing all morning in my abscence. Cheers! /P
