Another argument for purchasing poses, in my opinion, is that they often give me a lot of inspiration. Just the other day I had downloaded this pose set and was going through it when I came across this one that gave me a really great idea for an image. Of course, it required a bit of work as I like to work things like gravity, etc. into my pictures, and I didn't like one or two aspects of the pose, but without it I wouldn't have ever come up with that idea. So, this may not be the case for everyone, but I certainly find those pre-fab poses to be very inspirational if nothing else. I think that, what's more, you cannot argue that people are being lazy by purchasing ready-made poses, and then complain that such poses take you too long to work into whatever shape you want them to be. If you don't like buying poses, fine. If you think people who buy poses are lazy, fine but you should keep your mouth shut. However, you cannot combine those two into a single argument - they are very different. Aaron
