"Does this make poser5 a bad program? " Does it make it a credible review? Not neccessarily either. Which is what Greybro was questioning - not wether P5 has bugs or not. If you're going to stick "optimism never killed anyone who wasn't stupid as well ;)" in a post header, at least try and stick remotely close to the topic, ne? ;] You don't have to bash hell out of a product to give it a critical review. MaximumPC generally manages quite nicely. You don't have to drool all over it either... Doesn't read to me that Greybro was questioning the product either way. He's questioning the credibility of the Renderosity Magazine in their handling and presentation of the review, which is a different thing entirely. Ad copy in the guise of a review - which is what he IS stating - will do little except make any future reviews they do questionable.

"I am a good person now and it feels... well, pretty much the same as I felt before (except that the headaches have gone away now that I'm not wearing control top pantyhose on my head anymore)"
