Anton, I hope Maine is everything it's supposed to be this summer for you. If you get tired of east coast life, there's plenty of places out west (like here), you'd be welcome. Any chance of Max rearing his beautiful head again? From what I saw, he had tons of potential. Jim

blinks Um, Anton, wow.... Brutal emails and IMs? I didn't even know I was capable of that. I never spoke to you on the phone. Are you confusing me with someone else, or did you forget to name who it was you spoke with on the phone and that you were talking about someone else in that paragraph? It certainly wasn't me, because I don't even know what you could be talking about there. I don't dwell or hold grudges as a general habit, but if I did, I can't think of anything for which I would hold a grudge for against you, much less meat enough to dwell on or harbor any hard feelings. Looking back on my saved records and emails of the timeframe you described, I think it's possible you may have misunderstood why we mods took the actions we did. What you describe is not quite what shows in my records and saved emails of the time. I can see, however, how a misperception may have occured on your part. So, I'm not accusing you of lying only suggesting you might have misunderstood. On another note, I am indeed sorry to read of your loss. That is really tough. I wish your heart comfort and all the best.

Hi Anton!- Sorry to hear of your loss. I was (sorta) approched by DAZ with the similar kinda arangement, awhile ago, I'm (now) glad I didn't go that way. Not that I have any problems with DAZ, myself (I think they are good people) but it is always a problem doing what others want, rather than what you want to work on. I think the more creative you get the more you only want to work on your own visions, rather than those of someone else. It is bad enough working long hours for what amounts to low pay, without being your own boss. I hope your going to get back into doing Poser stuff.

There's something rotten about the whole business. I can't see how it's Anton's fault that DAZ sold his stuff at too low a price to pay the agreed costs. Sounds like Wal-Mart tactics. And there are tools appearing which can convert conforming clothes from one figure to another; V3 to the other, smaller, unimesh females. It makes it easier for DAZ to do their multi-version selling, and it makes it easier for the customer to not buy the different versions. While my recent experience is that DAZ's quality control is slipping badly, with blatant, easy-to-fix, faults left unresolved for weeks. While DAZ keep selling broken product.

For myself, Posette's Eve 4 is still the Queen of the Realm. She's more beautiful than any of the rest, she's easy on resourses, she's genitally correct, and her body is as flexible as any of the Millenium figures that were later based upon her design. So I say: 'Hip, hip, hurray for Posette, and... Long Live the Queen!'
