I totally agree with what you've said Sebastien. And I believe that SI-Communtiy is that right place for us to go, and keep it going. Many has been shared here. Knowledge, passion, dislikes, etc., and that is what have made the community so strong.
I believe that we need a refresh. I have a deep respect for all the members on this list. I have recieved so much from all of you. Been said that, I apologyze if some of my actions in this list made feel anyone uncomfortable. Never meant no harm to anyone. A little bit of overpassion for the latest events. People that know me, know about my passion for my work, for my friends and my seriousness when it comes to work, to deliver, to share, to teach, and learn. It is not because my entire life swings around Softimage. It is because with Softimage I have achieved amazing things that I could only imagine before in my dreams. It is like Softimage is connected to my mind in some other ways that I haven't found in other 3d softwares. Each time I see other's work, it never stops surprising of the possibilities that in all this years I still need to explore. Well, this is my last post in this list regarding this matter. If someone would ever needs of my knowledge or hands. I will be there. Always glad to help.
