I see. I understand completely.

I was, however, in no way condoning what Renderosity did and was not saying that I expect you or anyone else to pay for something to get something else advertised as free. My point was that it seemed you were trivializing that any of us make money off our work and ... well.. with all the frustration from this failed promotion... perhaps all of us are quick to jump and need to be cautious not to say things a ceratin way. Perhaps I took what you were trying to say out of context. or more likely you were angry at the decision and aimed it at the admins and I took it wrongly. For that I apologize..

Anyway, I was as shocked and as disappointed as everyone else when I read last night that there was a $5 minimum to get something that I and others created for free and under the impression that they'd be delivered to everyone who wanted them for FREE. I vented my frustrations over it with my fiance last night and she understood , so I am thankful she kinda patted me on the back and said "shut up and go to sleep, the world will still be spinning when you wake up" LOL

I agree that to require a fee to get something does not make it FREE. I don't think anyone likes it when businesses tell you something is free but then tell you that you have to pay some fee or another. It is certainly an unwise and unethical move.

I apologize for any misunderstanding on my part. It is still early and I need my coffee. :o)
