After an all to brief holiday break, astute practitioners of the Queen's English are sound like they're giving shouts out to Biggie and Tupac, lonesome cowboys continue to wail in the wilderness "I wish I could quit you Vickie,"  as if some dark and invisible force binds those who have renounced the Evil Empire like some sissephean curse. In short, bidness as usual. The best I can say is that this has become a profound embarassment to Renderosity and the Poser community. My New Year's resolution is to read and participate no more. How many will join me?
