Well that woudl depend on whether or not I am able to back up what I say. If I am jsut saying "It's good! It's Good!" then your right, it would be a crucial factor... However, since I have independant reasons, and state them, for the support I give them then those reasons stand on their own - so take it into account if you want, but it isn;t a critical issue. BTW - I bothered to hook up with CP BECAUSE I think Poser5 is a good thing, not the other way around. There would be NO value in doing it if I thought the product was a turkey :)
