No problem about the swearing. I gave up cussing, fighting, drinking, whoring-never actually had a problem with that one;), etc. a while back (as a Marine I pretty much saw-did it all) I just have three sweet wonderful boys and I want to keep them that way as long as possible. I wasn't offended, I just don't like to be around it because it's too easy to slip back into it. Thanks for starting this thread, it answered alot of my own questions on what the general perceptions of what people thought about freebies! Thanks also go out to Questor, PhilC, Cooler, Peguinisto, Ironbear, Schlabber, TrekkieGrrl, dna, DAZ, 3D Strike, SturkWurk, Capsces, Dodger, etc. etc. for doing what you do the way you do it. (if you didn't see your name don't fret I have a very small brain, and can keep only so many names in it at a time) Michael

Hi, total poser newbie here (this is my first post). Actually new to computer graphics although have made my living blowing glass and making things with my hands for most of my adult life (and I'm old enough to have voted for Carter!). I really appreciate everybody who has provided free stuff. I've bought my first characters (from a vendor who provides freestuff), and looking forward to upgrading from Poser 3 soon. Without the wealth of free stuff out there I would never had a desire to "move up" and spend my hard earned money on what for me now is a hobby. Since I am used to making things for money I might at some point offer, something for sale (to help pay for my hobby), but I'll definitely be offering up lots of freebies first (to trick people into liking me) - then again I might not ever offer something for sale. I have to say that except for the swearing (my problem, not anyone elses) I've really enjoyed reading this thread (and confirming what I thought, which is that this is a pretty nice "community" of talented people). Thanks again go out to anyone who has, does, or will offer freebies. May God bless you in all aspects of your lives! BobbyMike aka Michael Walters
