Quote - so people who are not MIT grads are 'intellectually inferior'?  WOW! ( yes i shouted )

That is not what was said...   I am not an MIT grad and I don't feel insulted in the least.  You can be anyone (with no formal education) and be a brilliant thinker, and  sometimes MIT grads can be  foolish.  We were just given bagginsbill's personal experience and  a reason for impatience with willful ignorance.

Quote - at least when i need help with my app, the people i deal with are inherently helpful ( and they can get their egos through doorways ).i have never come across anyone as condescending, arrogant and rude, over there.

Well, nobody I've come across has been as helpful with Poser materials or lighting as bagginsbill. He is exceptionally brilliant and wonderfully giving to the Poser community. I am thankful he puts up with the frequent prats and continues to help us who are willing to learn.

And as far as condescending, arrogant attitudes, I see them most frequently in those least deserving of wielding them.
