Considering the last posts on the subject, I agree even more with myself ...

And I add this: it is no place here to make a trial, and the discussion has
already been too speculative. What ever how far we can go in speculating
and in the fantasy, this won't change the situation. I would appreciate
that we change from a negative behaviour as it was so far to a more
positive one: enjoy raytracing, post images instead of blah-blah, and be
happy we have such a free yet marvellous tool (POV) at our disposal, and
nice people to help us (again for free). So why do some feel so offended?
It is just a hobby ;o) ...
