As the thread grows faster than I can write, I would add that as far as I'm concerned, Anton has been an enormous asset to the community generally, and R'osity in particular, both before and after joining DAZ. I would hate it if he felt he should lay out to avoid controversy. It's a fact of life in the tech world that companies often have relationships as complex as nations: sometimes allies, sometimes competitors. Ask anyone who develops apps for MSFT. Moreover, if folks from DAZ (and Dan Farr and others have posted here in the past) or CL involve themselves more in these forums, I will not immediately assume that the result will be poisonous. Crass attempts at manipulation would be seen as just that by the folks here, who in my experience are probably a bit more paranoid about that sort of thing than they need be. OTOH, if CL and DAZ folk involve themselves more in the community in ways that benefit the members and thereby build good will in their respective companies, more power to them.
