Quote - i was wishing you luck in your attempt. I also don't know why you should care about my approval. I only said I will believe it when I see it. For you see, there is always someone that says they can do it better when this topic comes up or it has in the last 7 years I've been reading them. Also why I pointed out the Daz hype, which has nothing to do with money or me questioning your reasons. Just pointing out that it has been said before and nothing ever happenes.

No need to get offensive about it. I'm rooting for you to suceed. Sorry if the word Hype bothers you, all I can say is, Oh Well.

Well, mom always told me if I didn't have anything nice to say, not to say anything at all.  Guess that pretty much covers most of what I could do for a response. 

However  The implication of your post was clear, and insulting.  This response isn't really much better, truth be told.  No, I don't care if I have your approval, don't need it at all.  Also don't care if I have your support, again, unecessary for my goals and aims.   As to believing it when you see it, feel free.  I don't hype - again a clear implication of your statements.  Daz may have been blowing smoke up your skirt for 7 years, but I'm not Daz, not affiliated with Daz, and have never once in my life claimed that I was going to write a program that I didn't end up writing.  Coding is more than just my profession and livelyhood, it is my passion. 

I have no idea why you would be so nasty to someone who merely wants to see if there is interest in an open source project that could potentially replace Poser and Daz Studio at some point.  I have no idea why you continue to take pot shots at me and my reputation based on what some totally 3rd party and  unrelated company has done or said in the past regarding development of a completely different project than the one I'm currently proposing.

And most of all I have no conception as to how in the world you would get the impression that your approval would mean squat one way or the other.  However, for the record, it doesn't.  I'm starting this project in the hope of giving something back to the community.  If you benefit from it all, perhaps you could work on a huge apology letter considering so far you've done nothing but make snide comments and post innuendo about my skills and my intent. 

But lets just say for the sake of argument that the project fails to get going and doesn't produce any useful work product.  What have you lost?  What did it cost you?  Nothing.  I'll have lost a great deal of my free time trying to make things a little better for the community, and you and the rest of the community will have lost nothing.

Perhaps you should consider that, before penning yet another personal attack or snide comment.  What I'm doing costs you nothing, and does nothing to harm you.  What I am proposing could be of great benefit to you down the road should I succeed, and in return I'm asking for nothing.   I'm investing my personal time and donating my skills.  All your doing is making nasty comments and deriding me for statements made by some other company or some other people some years ago.

So, who do you think has the moral high ground here?  Give it some thought. 

-Never fear, RenderDog is near!  Oh wait, is that a chew toy?  Yup. ok, nevermind.. go back to fearing...
