I agree with Ron 100% - must stop the drugs now... The only thing these "alert possible mesh theft," and similar posts do is invite people to take sides and start an unnecessary mini-war. I'll give Maz the benefit of the doubt and assume that wasn't his purpose, but public theft charges when you guys apparently haven't even tried to settle this isn't going to help anyone. Inevitably, people rise to the bait and start a partisan strugle for their preferred competitor and suddenly, everyone is a copyright lawyer. With two different stories from the principals, none of us is equipped to make any valid conclusions on this. What's even more disturbing is the increasing frequency with which this seems to be happening. maybe it's pre-Poser 5 nerves or the pollen count, but I wish it would go away. If anyone wants recruits for a crusade against some villain, let's see some free product. I'll side with whoever pays their mercenaries best. Absent that, as Ron said, "...deal with the people involved, directly and privately." Oh God, maybe I need MORE drugs.
