Hi everyone. Now that I've likely managed to annoy more than a few over the last couple days, I figure I should take the time to sort of pre-announce what's starting up tomorrow. Some of you may recall that 2 years or so ago I did a survey of poser users to find out who used what and who owned what, and then made those results publically available. In the intervening while, I've revisited the concept off and on. I was going to run the survey this month (decemebr), but chose to wait until January in order to really give it a full months' run and collect as much data as humanly possible. This survey is much more detailed, and comes in two languages, courtesy of poser users just like us who happen to speak French and German. As before, this survey's results, the raw data from it, will be publically available to anyone who requests it. The survey is anonymous, and is not affiliated with any single site, inclusive of my own (although, for cost reasons, it is being hosted on a page that is on the same server and shares the domain, but is otherwise unrelated to my own site). Ir is totally independent, and will run from January 1st MST (that's GMT-7) through January 31st. It is intended as a tool to give us all a baseline from whcih we can look at the overall community in terms of the market itself. IT is not a survey about the features of poser. It's a survey about how we use poser, what we want from the merchants, and what we do with the stuff. It is also a bit more extensive than the last one, lol. IT does include demographic information. Look for the announcement tomorrow at several sites across the wide reach of posedom as I try to get as many people doing it as possible :) Have a happy new year, all!

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
