Quote - *However: if the made-up story at least sounds plausible, then it therefore follows that it must be true.

That's also the nice thing about any 'conspiracy theory' too, the assertions only have to thread through the facts without logical contradictions in order for the said theory to be valid :)

I said earlier that I admired your optimism Robert and I should have qualified that  by saying your 'reasoned' optimism because you've undoubtly shown that there are good reasons to believe that all will continue to be well with the fate of Poser.

I think however that there are enough dark clouds on the horizon to at least be concerned that this sale may not bode well for the long term fate of Poser.

We'll just have to wait and see after all :)

Your posts have been well-reasoned, also, Rick.  You have valid points -- and there's enough of a flag there to at least keep an eye on things.

I'm not objecting to anything that you've said in particular.  I am merely trying to point out that we've seen lotsa "dark cloud" category predictions being made thoroughout Poser's (admittedly short) history.  So far: NONE of those predictions have come to pass.  And if the predictions of the negativists do actually come to pass this time around: it'll be the first time that it's ever happened.  So I think that history & experience are on the side of optimism in this one.

So -- I have no intentions of listening to the doomsayers in a serious way until such time as it's been clearly demonstrated.  Until then -- the dark clouds amount to no more than rumors about dark clouds.

You are correct that it pays to be cautious: it always does.
