Quote - It's not worth all the animosity I've seen here to deny the OP's right to his opinion and call it a crusade when all he's done, that I can see, is look for like minded individuals to agree with him and maybe discuss it without the rancor that it has been discussed with up til now.

There was no animosity.  There were several attempts to point out that there are ways to do this sort of thing quite easily.  Which proceeded to be ignored or denigrated  as solutions.

As for taking up time...well, as I'm typing this, I've got one of those solutions running converting rsr's from older files to png's.  And it's done.  To put it succinctly, in a fraction of the time spent complaining about having to do it, it could have been finished.

And just for a test, I took one of my older archives, the Victoria 3 base, and dumped it into a blank directory.  The base installer gives you 11 individual directories with rsr files.  Using P3dO (as one solution), and doing it intentionally the long way (start the program, select each directory in turn, run the converter on each) took less than a minute, total.  The time it took to do the actual conversion for a directory was essentially instantaneous.  You don't see it happen: you click on the command and the window pops up to tell you it's done immediately.

Other options (including P3dO) could have done it with a single click through going through an entire folder tree.  It would have taken less time to complete than it takes an average install of Poser to start. 

So the time issue is, quite honestly, bullpucky. Incidentally, there's a difference between denying someone a right to an opinion and pointing out that someone's opinion may be somewhat questionable in its logical or practical basis.
