Quote - I'm pretty sure I consider things before I respond - most of the time.
And nor did I say people using anything less than P7 are idiots, though you seem to imply so, through the '69 mustang analogy in your last paragraph.

Just tossing in my two cents, based on about 8 years of Poser usage - just ignore me if you don't like my opinions, but I hardly need to be lectured on what I need to consider before I post.

 

I meant to imply nothing of the sort, I simply stated and will state again that people use different applications for different reasons.  Poser 4 is a perfectly acceptable choice if it suits someones application.  It just doesn't happen to suit mine.  I can however see how it would a wonderful option to have if, well for example, I happened to own an older laptop without much in the way of system resources and wanted to do some base work while mobile.  Different applications call for different sorts of software packages.

Poser 7 does suit my application, though Cinema 4d would not.  The allegory presented was done so in the hopes that you might consider the fact that various people have a variety of applications and reasons for chosing a particular program.

You used poser for years, and switched as it apparently no longer suited your needs. That is all well and good for you, but it doesn't make poser a bad program, which is not something you implied but rather something you stated in your remarks.  It might be a bad choice for what you use a 3d rendering program for, but it's not a bad program.  That was not an accurate or thoughtful statement to make, which again is all that was "implied" in my analogy.

You may of course consider anything you wish before you respond to anything posted, that is your perogative.  However I would hope that you would be a bit more thoughtful in your replies, if you have used poser for 8 years there is a lot that you probably have to offer in the way of tips and suggestions for improvements.  A thoughtful response of this nature is constructive and conversation worthy.

A simplistic "Poser sucks and everyone who uses it does too" sort of statement like the original post I responded too does nothing and really serves no useful purpose.  If this is how you chose to respond however certainly you have every right too, I was simply hoping that a more civil, adult discussion of such things could take place.

If you instead wish to take offense at what I've posted and attempt to start some sort of argument I'm afraid I'm simply not interested in doing so, I'm far too old to be entertained by something like that and honestly I have far too many other things that I find far more enjoyable to do than to swap insults on a computerized message base.

You are naturally free to take offense at anything I might have said, but no offense was intended.  So if it's a discussion of improvements to Posers UI is of any interest to you I'll be more than happy to discuss it at length.  Anything else I'm afraid you'll have to find another sparing partner for.

cheerio!
