And doesn't "The Community" sound strangely similar to "The Area" ?!
This smells all to familiar, Company A doesn't want to deal w/ the overhead of a more personalized service (ie. private mailing list for smaller tight group), and so it consolidates like Company B has done and gains tremendous orders of efficiency (ie. Autodesk model)... And in the end the individual user loses "personal touch" which made the company what it is ! FYI, The Nuke user list is by far the most functional user-based effort I've seen in my 25yrs in the industry... If it ain't broke, don't fix it ! +1 Ari Blue Sky Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 3, 2015, at 1:05 PM, Howard Jones <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yes after all isn’t that how it is working at the moment?
