RE: Daz forum frustrations. I am not at the PRE moderation level yet, but I've had some posts removed that have me scratching my head. As Wolf and Wendy have noted the NFT thread is particularly capricious. I posted a warning letter that I got from the Odyssy/LBRY animation hosting folks, which was directly related to NFTs. It has information about Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement actions regarding the regulation and oversight of NFT hosts. Daz Mods removed the letter - not something I wrote, but something sent out by the people directly regulated by the SEC. Honestly, I want to send a letter to Daz's legal team. Their Mods might not realize it, but Daz3D may unintentionally get scooped up in the unlawful marketing of unregistered securities if the SEC goes all out on NFTs. How can they permit the misleading posts by amateur wannabe day traders and delete an actual SEC-related compliance communication? It would be different if they deleted something that was my opinion, but they deleted actual corporate compliance communications. Crazy.

I am trying to ignore all that. It is very hard. I have to remind myself I have completed my financial services policy career. I may write my Congressmen an NFT-related letter just to see if the staff forwards it to my old office.

RE: sales. I buy in cycles over there, and I am now in a 'less buying' cycle. I was a relatively big buyer during V4, Genesis 2, and Genesis 8, but low buyer for Genesis and Genesis 3. I am now on low for Genesis 8.1. Nothing intentional, just the way my buying habits have worked out over time. I will be using G2 in Carrara and G8 in Studio for the duration of this cycle. G8.1 isn't a big enough change.

Meanwhile, the Rendo folks have stuff for multiple generations, so thumbs up for that.
