Tom,

First, most sentences you end with "I'll keep to myselff", which is always funny since you keep nothing to yourself if you can brag about it, usually means you are fishing for something; usually a reaction rather than information since you are seldom interested in anything as boring as information.

Second, I can't imagine what backstory there would be. I never worked on m3. That work was kept internally to the in-house dev team. Michael Lane and I both urged them to let us handle it for the, but Cris wanted it kept internally. We had no problems with that. And I started on Apollo after I left Daz and declined a new contract.

Third, only one person in all of Poserdom knew of Apollo, and that was Laurie Stanley (LaurieS), who yes is a long part of the Platinum Club, whom I brought on board. Laurie and I stayed in touch for some time afterwards.

Now whether or not you are insinuating that Laurie, the only person ever told of Apollo, shared this fact with Daz. Well, I would assume she did. I doesn't bother me if she showed renders, since that is all she ever had. It wou;dn't even suprise me, now that I think of it. I suppose I would have expected it.

But I think it sort of childish, all these years later, to still be trying to stir up intriques. I really don't even see how your reply is relevant to Sean's comment you quoted other than being a vehicle for you.

If you were truly going to keep it to yourself, whatever "it" was, then you wouldn't have said anything. But that wasn't the point was it? sigh Just sad, but again, not unexpected. lol

Why are you not as honest whith your intentions here at Rendo as you post elswhere?
