I did not say that Autodesk was going to buy Poser.

I very seriously doubt they would do that. They already have Biped, which is far more powerful and versatile than anything Poser has.

It was simply a hypothetical example to show that it's not necessarily a bad thing that Poser remains in the hands of small-time companies - an answer to the post from Wintercalw, i.e.,"I was just thinking, how much of Poser's current woes is do in part to the fact it's always being bought out, but never by anyone major so it never has a chance to have a stable management?"

I still think it seems like a strange career move for Smith-Micro though.
