To LukeA.: Yay!! :-)

Honestly, as a customer I think a "Thank You" in the read me file is all the thanks I need.  A personal thanks is nice sometimes but not necessary as this place has far too many customers for you the vendors to respond to everyday. Besides, all that time saying thank you could be spent on making another great product!

Now get busy!

Ooh! To LukeA:

I sure wish I could have an item as a free gift! I love that toy store!! So if she doesn't claim her free gift can I have it?!

Wonderful store and products you have there, sir. Like I said already, I think every vendor is grateful for our business and I am thankful for the vendors. If it wasn't for the products the vendors make I would have no need for Poser! So THANKS!

Like I said, all are making valid points and you make a good one here, too. I didn't realize how inflaming her second comment was BUT it looks to me like she became defensive because nobody acknowledged her and instead made her feel a little bad for saying anything in the first place.

Right or wrong I don't think she would have said anything if something wasn't bothering her. Perhaps she just doesn't communicate very well.

Only she knows but I do recognize defensiveness too. 

There have been times (not recently) that I wished vendors would give me the time of day especially when I comment on their galleries and images and tell them I bought one of their items. Some do thank me then but many won't respond at all. It doesn't bother me anymore, I'm more secure, but it used to.

I'm in love with Renderosity and the Customer Service here. The vendors have it rough in my opinion and I appreciate their efforts so we should thank the vendors rather than the other way around.

Well, I don't think midage32065 needs to be attacked for speaking her mind. I think you all are making good points but apparently she/he feels something is lacking in vendor customer service or she/he wouldn't have said anything at all. Perhaps she/he feels under appreciated after spending so much money or maybe a particular vendor has ignored her?

I have wondered myself sometimes why many vendors will blog on and on about pirating but will say little in way of appreciation to all that continually support them.  If they have a way of reaching a mass audience through a web page or blog why not say a mass thanks every once in a while?

The point about Walmart not saying thank you to each customer isn't valid. They say it on every single sales receipt. (I think RMP does that too after each order?)

I don't have a problem with the vendors or the CS here. I think the fact that vendors create stuff that I can use since I don't know how to create it myself is all the thanks I really need.

So I thank all the vendors!!

I see a hatching bald eagle.
