Quote - and every time you cut it back it seems there's more and more of it.
That's true -- and it's also more nutritious than either alfalfa or barley for use in animal feed. The downside being that no one has figured out a way to cultivate kudzu and make it commercially viable. In other words: ya can't make money off of kudzu. And that's where the kudzu analogy with Poser breaks down. 
@Trekkiegirl: no offense. Spock sells very, very well -- there's no doubt about that. Hey, I can even still enjoy the occasional re-run of TOS on cable.
BTW - matters of personal taste don't encompass "elitism". Elitism involves a (usually small) group of people setting themselves above all other comers -- gathering themselves together in little groups -- and then constantly spending their time sniping at those "stupid people" over there who're not nearly as ultimately cool as we are. This attitude can be found in the hallowed environs of the Poser community...............
But aside from that -- not everyone at CGTalk is an elitist. CGTalk is an excellent place for those who are interested in high-end 3D (but so are the forums here & elsewhere). I'd suspect that most CGTalk members are simply professionals, just doing their jobs. But there are definitely elistists to be found among them.
Elitism exists on the personal level; elitism is reflected in personal attitudes. A user of MAYA is not automatically -- by definition -- an elitist.
