I completely dissagree with you. I have to side with Thorsten on this 
particular issue. He was a complete troll. And -- yeah, I tossed a few 
bread crumbs his way, so I'm just as guilty.

I don't think there was a well meaning bone in his body when he made the 
post. Its apparently either a whining session or a post with malace. Had 
he approached with the attitude of, "I think I have some ideas, here's 
what I've worked on, and I think I can make it work" The response would 
have been much less abrasive. But, instead, he comes by with the 
attitude that every *commercial* renderer out there is flawless and why 
can't POV-Ray do (insert favorite scanline-rendering technique here)?

The problem is not that he was innocently making a wrong assertion in 
attempting to do something, but completely bashing a tool we all enjoy 
using.

I wish I had known him when he was posting before he was killbanned. Ohh 
well.
