*"Case in point, recently in another thread I started discussing the possibility of developing an open source replacement for Poser, and almost immediatly I was verbally assualted by about half a dozen posters accusing me of all sorts of things, up to and including trying to perpetrate some sort of fraud on the community as a whole.  All of this for merely discussing the possibility of writing a free program that might at some point replace Poser in functionality"

That is so far from the truth. Just because someone says they will believe it when they see it, does not mean they are accusing you of anything. In fact, all those bad people also wished you well in completing it. You do realize that it's the same people reading this thread.

No one is trying to dissuade you from working on FAST. You believe there is. Sorry, there is no conspiracy.

I tried biting my tongue on this but that was totally untrue.
