I'd have to agree with Gareee here, most of the folks complaining aren't "elitists" (though some are), instead, they're purists in the same vein as those who gripe about our Poser gallery being loaded with postworked images, as if that were a bad thing.  Granted, there are better ways of handling your lack of interest or low opinion of such work. Since Poser pays my bills I'm often happy to see well done images pop up mentioning Poser's use...why, even at CGTalk, an artist used Poser alongside other high-end/mid-range apps to do an illustration of some action figures in their boxes...got a CGTalk award and everything. The reason that's remarkable is that CGTalk is well known for its No-Poser stance on images submitted to its contests, so such praise when Poser is used is rare there. 

So now we all know that there are tons of folks out there with a low opinion of Poser. We should be asking ourselves what can we do to change that opinion? I think the first step is taking the time to visit renders from new users or renders where we see obvious flaws and help guide the artist into creating better work with Poser. We all know it's capable of great things, we just need to help others see that and the best way to do so is to help each other get better I think.
