lol. What rubbish. How's the view from bitterness mountain?

My relationship with ef is the same it has always been. I did leave by my own choice, which is my right, unless the movement to bring back surfdom has succeeded. When Apollo was released for free a year ago, ef was kind enough to donate the completed faceroom module and host the forum as a show of support.

The Apollo forum is a very big draw for the ef forums. They are primarily concerned with thier own figures and prefer people to support them first. This is similar to the Daz store which I don't beleive accepts Apollo, Miki, or Jessie unique products.

Stores have to look out for their own best interests, of course. There are many options around Poserdom. Most Poser stores support Apollo and sell Apollo products, either whole or in part.

I have been fortunate to work with Daz and ef, developing figures and features for Poser. Many suggestions I made were added  to P7, as many of my designs became standard Daz franchise items that continue today. I have also been fortunate to work with different brokerages and have known so many merchants over the years I have lost track.

Each store I left at my own choosing.  Not that I am ungrateful to any of them, but usually there was a situation relating to how merchants were treated that I could not sit by and be apart of; the exception being ef. I parted with ef and CP solely for business reasons; nothing personal.

Poser has been good to me and between Poser and my other careers,  I really don't have any financial needs. Each store I was at saw very large sales from my efforts that generally exceeded anyone else. Some store handled news I was leaving better than others.

Many stores continue to ask if I might return and I have open invitations across Poserdom. Daz has asked my back twice since I left them arounf the time of M3. Both times I declined.

So , that said, I can assure you that contrary to the impression you and those like you,  try to make fact, I assure you I have no shortage of opportunities or offers. I am grateful for the many invitation I receive, but I am happily enjoying my life as it is. Commercial Poserdom is currently my past. I don't have any desire to return, though I enjoy staying in touch for fun.

I know this must seem very shocking and unbelieveable, but to some people, there are more important things than money and opportunity; like ethics, helping others in need, and enjoying what you do.

Follow your own ladder to success. Glad we could catch up. :)
