Quote - All I told you was what Poser does and why it does it... You know, that's why I said, I only respond to the part of the posts I quoted... I even told you that they added an entry to the Poser.ini to stop Poser from reading the runtime. But it's fun to see that you're not interested in any information at all you just want to spread your "facts"... Poser's not utterly slow, just write the code to read directories and directory shortcuts yourself and then come back and tell me how much faster you got it using standard coding techniques... It just takes more time than simply reading directory information...

I am a programmer - facts and hard data are what interest me, not innuendo, back handed slaps, or circular logic.  Posers internal library routines are poorly written, that is a fact.  They need to be updated, that is a fact.  Even though these facts have been very plainly stated and proven by any reasonable doubt, you seem to insist on ignoring them, apparently because they prove your original premise, that there is nothing wrong with Posers internal routines as written, to be incorrect.  However as a programmer I understand that all circular logic leads to is an infinite loop that locks up your system, again an example of very poor code and not something I'm interested in engaging.  

I am no longer interested in continuing a conversation of a circular, repetitive, neverending nature.  I have entirely too many other things to deal with, and this is no longer proving productive. 

Now, you have several choices of your own in this matter, acknoweldge that your original premise was indeed incorrect , continue to press the point that there is nothing wrong with Posers internal routines or that you were right all along despite all evidence to the contrary, or pretend that none of this actually took place and ignore everything you should have learned from the above postings.

Option A would earn you a modicum of respect from both myself and probably from other onlookers as well, because it would prove that you are a person of intellect who respects logic and can admit when they drew a conclusion based on incomplete factual information.

Option B & C, the optiosn you've thus far chosen to implement in your debating of the topic, will simply continue the circular, never ending, "noI wasn't wrong despite the facts" logic loop that you are currently stuck in.

I have no desire to continue travelling such a loop with you, however, as I am far to busy for such things and try to only take part in conversations in which worthwhile information is exchanged and both parties benefit from such exchange of information. 

So I hope that  you will consider this carefully before responding, however rest assured that any further attempts to recircle the conversation will not garner any form of response, so feel free to get in the last word and prove to us all that despite facts, reason and logic you were right and everyone else was wrong.  I'm hoping that I've misjudged you and that you are above such things, but I suppose we shall see in the next reply.

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