I don't know... Someone who has this idea lives close to this idea.
If it would really be out of question to you, you wouldn't have
mentioned it, right? I don't see any joke in it, what is it?
Are you a programmer, that makes a living of it? That would be
at least ridiculous. You are not offending me. You are offending
ethics and morale. Any living morale has a very real social reason.
What would you say, if I'd wish you with all my heart on your job
to meet persons with the morale you suggested on your daily
business matters? Would you find this a kind act of me? See.
You know, I find Bill Gates a criminal, but I would't even do the devil
and steal from him to justify his deeds.
Just the less to spoil upright people like McNeel's.

I'm sure you can get some info on conversion of texture files and 3D studio-
he did, after all, write a utility that converts them in one direction.

On a totally irrelevant side note, not only have we managed to get WAY
offtopic(admittedly with a
great deal of help from me...), we have also managed to get one of the largest
messages, without
attachments, on this newsgroup...if I had time to look, I could confirm it, but I
think this
message is in 1st or 2nd place. The lesson we can learn from this:Clip any irrelevant
parts of the
message, please! Half of the message I erased had nothing to do with piracy, nor with
Thomas
Lake's immorality...so, please, I beseech you, in an effort to unburden the newsgroup,
CLIP YOUR
REPLIES!!!
