Your observations are dead on right Dan, and from a business standpoint, I hope your statement may help calm the troubled waters a bit. Poser, Curiouslabs, and Daz have enriched the lives of all the user base here, both hobbiests and professional developers. I believe what has so many distraught at the moment though, is the sneaking suspicion that is coming to many right now, that Meta_Mannix who has been badly verbally abusing the community members and any who have criticized this "amnesty" program, is actually Steve Cooper, whom we all hold in the highest esteem. I hope and pray it is not, for it would be a heartbreaking tradgedy to be so badly spoken to by someone we all admire and have put on a pedestal. I would encourage Steve to swiftly speak to dispell this rumour if it is just a rumour.
