Rob, Who says that I intend to share, sell, or otherwise distribute that which hasn't been built? Or if perchance I do construct something which folks clamor to obtain, that I'd be too stupid to talk to the good folks at DAZ before releasing it? (Sheesh, they made their reasoning clear MONTHS ago!) Besides, I might not even be working with millennium figures. The items I am interested in constructing fall into a very narrow niche. I doubt if anybody here would be attracted to truly authentic viking gear. When there is all this fantasy armor and winged helmets and brass brazzieres, bone iceskates and carved prows wouldn't get noticed. I need to build an animated clock in the shape of Baba Yaga's hut for one enterprise... and if anybody here knows THAT specific reference off the top of their head, I'll be duly impressed! There are a couple other directions calling to me. But when folks would rather get their props and costumes from Hollywood? :: "All that is gold does not glitter...." Any learning enterprise isn't wasted money. Not ever. But pity can be wasted on those who don't need it. Why don't you take that pity and give it to someone who wants it badly? Carolly
