I'm sorry but I see this in a different light...

All of the beta testers (and BB) are held to an NDA agreement.
SmithMicro/SteveCooper obviously tell BB to post pics and answer questions to new gadgets in the newer versions of Poser, because what he is showing and sharing would be against any NDA agreement...so BB has Coopers blessing.

BB is obviously a bright lad but reminds me of one of those bright engineers who can't socially relate well with others. He gets uppity and irritated that the lesser can't grasp and understand the wisdom that he parts with...hence; his occasional rants and blasts.
(You might not like that last statement BB but it has a ring of truth in there.)

Does BB give Poser users knowledge and tools?
Not only yes, but hell yes. (if you can understand it)
But I find it odd that almost everyone here trips over themselves to be at his feet when he so quickly swats those who get too close to his presence.

You give so much to the community BB, if you could only sweeten some of your attitude...it would go a loooooooong ways.
