Use the anisotropic like I did, not Glossy. The word anistropic means not the same in all directions - it is a kind of specular effect caused by many tiny parallel grooves or cylinders, e.g nylon threads. The Glossy node does isotropic (same in all directions) specular effects and is actually just a cheat for a world in which raytracing is not available or undesirable.
If we had anistropic reflections in Poser, I wouldn't even use the Anisotropic node.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
