I know - I'm not Drac - but they don't "order" or "make" you DO anything. When you install the program, there's a checkbox that says something like "I agree to tell at least 2 people about DS" - you just check it and the install finishes - that's it (to put it in perspective - honestly, how many of you really DO read the "terms of agreement" before just clicking "Accept" to just get the install going?). It's not waiting for any confirmation at all as to whether or not you DID it - it's just a box to check during install. Kind of an "honor system" really - and it's not telling you to say it's incredible, wonderous, amazing, how good it is in general (you haven't used it yet - how could you?) - just asking you to spread the word that it's a free alternative to Poser. Whether you do it or not is actually completely up to you - I've actually only told it to one guy (the subject just never comes up) who uses Max but didn't want to shell out $600 for Poser just to make some quickie figures "every once in a while". What they're hoping is for you to buy their content to use DS - THAT's how they make their money - that and Bryce to finish more complicated layouts. And if it's free, you'd be more inclined to USE it - then you're gonna want more content to play with because you'll get bored with whatcha got - get it? -Lew ;-)
