Hee, seems when I tried to post this before it was eaten. Trying again. ... Sadly, flames such as these are fairly common in any online community. I work for a subscription game and whenever we do a major new release, regardless if it's something positive or negative for the players involved, we receive hate email. It's the nature of the beast; no matter what you do, there are people who are going to dislike it or who just want to blindly lash out. Ironically, I was planning to avoid putting out free items because I was concerned about bandwidth issues. After reading this thread, I've changed my mind and decided to try and do some small projects for the express purpose of putting into the free area. I forget the author and the exact wording, but there's a quote -- "If you are called a genius by half the people and an idiot by the other half, remember that the truth is somewhere between." While I seriously doubt there's anything more than a small group or single individual responsible, it's still quite a good quote to remember if the name-calling brings you down (and vice versa, I suppose, if your ego is a bit unwieldy from compliments). ;) Erik "Kep"
