For some time ago I was looking at the poser forum. They had a discussion about question to their forum. When people post questions about things that you know are clearly described in the manual -should you help that person or just answer page243? When Vue4 came out, I said to a friend that I was thinking order a copy of it (the best thing I ever done, regarding software investments)two days later he phoned me and said I could dl it from his FTP. In other worlds, it's very easy to find it on the net. So sometimes when I'm reading the postings in this forum I think, aha there we have a warez copy! I can understand (hope don't get banned from RenderOs. saying this) when people have a copy of a very expensive prog for 5000-up$. Why? Because that company are not loosing anything, that person shouldn't buy it anyway. If he had that money he should prob. buy a car instead. I'm not encourage people to use Warez Back to prog like Vue. A small company (I think)with a product for a very reasonable price, normal people can afford it. So when my friend phoned me, I said no thanks. ------------------------------------------- Now I wonder what you think, should we answer easy to find in manual questions or not? I am aware that some of us sometimes think it's hard to understand the manuals technical english, me included. In that case perhaps we should ask -I'm reading about functions at page 216 but I don't understand. If we don't answer, are we an unfriendly forum or are we helping Eon to survive. -Please don't shoot the messenger boy!-
