I took this part of his quote (bolded by me):

"One of the updates for Poser 11 makes destructive changes to cr2 files which are processed through P11. That subdividing morph thing changes all the valueParms in Body to targetGeoms, to facilitate the storage of deltas for the different morph resolutions."

to imply he is using one of the latest features, as in his post about different morph resolutions, which I took to be subdivision level morphs, which are only P11 and P11Pro. You can also only create them in Poser11Pro (and they are also read by P11 ) so again implying a latest feature. Perhaps in order to utilise that feature the .cr2 needs to be written differently. But as I said, if that's the case, leave the original for pre P11 versions and there's no problem. If I was wrong fair enough.

That's just me, being unclear. Sorry. The changes introduced to P11 to support subdividing morphs affect every cr2 or pz3 passed through the software, whether that user activates subdividing morphs or not. We weren't warned about this, but it affects everyone and everything. I find that objectionable, but it may be one of those YMMV things.

It sounds like you're saying that opening a figure such as M4 or prop in Poser 11 somehow changes the Cr2 saved on your HD to accommodate P11's new features. Then, when opening the same Cr2 in Poser 2014, it's no longer able to be read. If such were the case it would be fairly ridiculous. I'm not sure what you mean by "processed through" P11 though. If you mean that resaving a prop or figure or working file makes it incompatible with earlier versions that's not quite as bad, but worth noting.
