Razor42 -- You're making guesses about the relevance of a set of data about one thing (3rd party Poser content purchases and site visits) to a completely different thing (sale of Poser software). YOU made that connection when you started talking about Poser's bottom line. And as a result, I am merely pointing out that your guesses in this regard are no better than mine, since the actual data we would need isn't available. Only SM knows how many copies of Poser it has sold, and there's nothing in your data that tells us much about that.

I'm not assuming any prejudice on your part other than what you have demonstrated in your posts in this thread. As for myself, since I use both Poser and DS, and spent that last month draining my bank account in the PC Anniversary Sale, I'm not taking an US v THEM stance when it comes to Poser and Daz.

_The only US v THEM stance I am taking is forum members who want useful threads VS people who just seem to want to argue pointlessly. _ And if you believe that pertains to you, fair enough.

I don't care what software you used in the past, if you're not here to help people use Poser or get help using Poser, what are you here for? Information about market viability? Why? AFAICT, you've already made up your mind about that. You're not looking for information; you're asserting your own opinions. But why?

Edit: By the way, I have some idea of why Zev0 is here, and he and M3M have been a truly great source of help and information. So I certainly don't subscribe to the idea that the Poser forum is only for totally loyal Poser fanatics at all.
