Dear Mr. Farr: let me begin by saying how grateful I am for your company, your products, and the attention that you gave to this matter. I may be speaking for myself but I believe the title of this Renderosity thread was unfortunate (I believe the author was attempting humor which is doubly difficult in ASCII). Would the names be less offensive if Daz was located in Tennessee? No, strictly speaking, but I don't think anyone believes that either Daz or Dalinise was trying to offend anyone and your locations had only something to do with the title of the thread and not with the naming of the products. The second question is a little more difficult. Is Daz being held to a different standard; in truth, I hadn't noticed the Dalinise textures in Renderosity... If I had, I probably would have seen the name, a flash of dark skin in the gif of the product and very quickly and very deliberately scrolled past. I do look at the Daz product page very often and did notice the name and product. I was reading the forums here at Renderosity and notice that I wasn't alone in being a little perturbed by it. Realistically, I am aware there are very few black Renderosity and Poser people around so it was a topic of interest. I do think both Daz and Dalinise were wrapped up into something that is very complicated. I hope you do note that many of the authors were not blaming you or Dalinise but merely stating a discomfort with atavistic terms for people.
