Actually, it is Alan with whom I've been in contact -- but I didn't want to sound oh-so-important by mentioning that I know him.  Well, I've just busted myself - lol.

He's been very nice to me and in return I've been dropping the PI name here and there, as well as suggesting hat he should promote PI at Renderosity -- if Lillian and co. would be into it and some win-win deal can be struck.  On his side, he said he may consider it.

For someone like me who isn't a 3D animator yet who needs to create sfx for my short film project, PI is really turning into a miracle-machine.  A lot of work, but worth it. 

My contest entry has but a few, scratch-the-surface and rather simple "still in learning curve phase" examples of that.   I've got a ways to go before I master the full potential of PI.

As to my file, I'll act on your suggestion:

--- Send him both options in case he is still somewhere in the Renderosity member database -- link to here and to my own media clips page (which he's seen but that was months ago and  it has since been security coded).
