Hi Folks! I remember back during high school when my older brother and I got into a conversation after dinner about 20th century geopolitics. He said one of the ironies of World War I was that the monarchies of practically all of the European nations involved were related to each other by blood and/or marriage. It's too bad that all of these various Poser Forums, which descended from the same original small group of artists, can't find niches which allow each of them to coexist peacefully. Like many of us, I hold concurrent membership in several of them. But my greatest loyalty is to the sense of common purpose (digital art) and civility they offer, which allows us to conduct exchanges with each other online, regardless of skill level, platform, or nationality. I too hope PFO comes back. I also hope all these forum owners and admins can find a way to "all get along," and at least try to create the kind of tolerance in this virtual world that is so sadly lacking in the real world. AsI've said so many times--we're all artists here. Peter (Dr Zik)
