Hi all.
There is a reason to be concerned about off topic threads in this, and other forums. For the most part, moderators are being quite patient, and allow quite a bit of room.
But...
Posts that go off topic, and lead to no resolution due to their nature, can't be allowed on this forum. We all must deal with limited bandwidth, and with limited time to read these types of posts.
Posts that deal with religion, politics, ethnicity, etc... cannot be welcome, as they deal with highly emotional issues that have little or nothing to do with scenery design.
Also, posts that deal with issues of ethics or legality or copyright cannot be discussed here. Such issues can be taken up privately with other scenery designers or tool-makers, or with the supposed copyright holders, using private avenues ( email is a good choice here ).
There are other websites that do not seem to mind the waste of their bandwidth discussing issues of which we have no control or knowledge or authority. Those other websites might be better suited for posts of this nature.
If you feel quite strongly about these types of issues, and about expressing your feelings on the web, that would be a good clue that I will delete your post.
These forums are for discussion of scenery DESIGN. Legal issues are best taken up with lawyers... ethical issues are best discussed with your religious confidants.
