Oh, I dunno......perhaps Connie will be the one to administer the beating.  And in a most unpleasant manner..........

OK -- looks like this thing has turned into a semi-serious discussion now -- at least partially.  But the egos still poke through -- as well as the contemptous, dissmissive look-down-the-nose attitudes.  But hey -- animals always behave according to their true natures.

Lest anyone fall for that sort of mind-game:

Those who sit in the peanut gallery and yell at the players on the field often fancy themselves that such behavior magically transforms them into a "leader".  While the true leaders are the merchants (whom we've just been told are all worthy of contempt), the artists, and the designers/programmers at places like DAZ and e frontier.  And Rendo.  And elsewhere.

Others drive by from time-to-time to stick out their tongues and spout "nyahhh-nyahhh!" -- while the leaders are actually working and getting the job done.  Even those oh-so-contemptible, low-life scum hobbyists.  Who probably collectively represent about 80%-to-90% of the market.

Gigantic Ego.  It's a wonderful thing.
