However, people like me who upload freebies do do it for own satistsfaction I think (I do do anyway :)) and people who download do us service, especially when they use our freebies in a picture they make.

I believe you've got lots more download than me so I'm not a freebie maker on your scale but I do it for the same reason.  It gives me tremendous satisfaction.  And yes, people who use freebie stuff are doing freebie makers a service.  If it weren't for the users, we wouldn't get to experience the joy of uploading and sharing!  :-)

Still, it is wonderful when people say thank you and that they like your stuff.  So encouraging.  Makes me want to just fly to Lightwave and say, "Okay, what can I do next that someone might like?"  :-)

So thank you to the users! It is an incredible rush to see something you've made in someone else's render!!!  :-)

I love me some Modo!  :-)
