I try my best to avoid being a psychophant, too -- it's bad for the reputation.  In fact, I even try to avoid being a sycophant.

There's little moral difference between being a sycophant on the one hand, and being an incessant negativist on the other hand.  But in my observation: incessant negativism is a far more common affliction within the Poser community than is sycophancy.  Although examples of both afflictions exist.

However: I can safely predict (and with great accuracy, too) which side of any new release many will come down on.  And that's not hyperbole.  It's tradition......set-in-stone, firm custom.  And the attitudes on display are not to be questioned nor challenged.  At least not without running the risk of being labeled a "psychophant".  Or maybe even being called a ......gasp........fanboy.  :scared:

Nope -- I'll leave the moral equivalence of sycophancy or of predictable negativism to others......but I'll wait until I see the software before I pronounce final judgment on it.  It's got some features that I think that I'm going to like (but of course: that doesn't mean that anyone else has to like it).
