Quote - > Quote - I sure hope not.  I took that (Cooper) statement of hope that SM was genuinely trying the opposite of slaving themselves to daz.

Indeed, I think Steve was saying that SM was asked if they wanted to hitch their wagon to Daz and Genesis, considered it, and decided against it.

 

I think the reference was to steves comments about SM having someone develope an new male figure for poser for poser that takes advantage of all poser 9/pp2012 have to offer.  I seriously doubt they would get daz to do this for them, nor that daz would take it on.  It was mentioned that it could be an established vendor who has put out some great stuff for poser already.  I dont recall the exact wording.
