while i agree on your promotional point, (at least when its a clear
promo, which wasn't
the case here at all)
whats wrong with freeware? (in this case its even opensource)? so by
your list policy its:
houdini: yeah, modo: yeah, maya: meh, max: meh, blender: no?
cinema? is that ok by your standard?
a weird and somewhat elitist attitude, I'd say.. (hope you don't run
mozilla)

Then I'd like change "we"with "me" in my statement if you feel more
comfortable with it. I do respect you the same way as I respect the
list. This list is the most proficient source of information in a same
way a platform for professionals is meant to discuss even everything
else. That’s my point. This is the softimage mailing list. I read
maya topics all the time. 3Dsmax, for gods sake and will tolerate it.
And Houdini? Well, it's very welcome and Modo for sure. But discusing
freeware? C'mon!
Well the problem I had was not actually arguing with specific modeling
in Blender but the promotion of it in this list. I do not think this
is the right place to promote software.

Hey Sven,
I'm not sure you have the right to police this list like that. I don't
mind if this kind of stuff is posted here. So when you use the word
"we" I'm not sure who you're speaking for but it certainly isn't the
whole of this list.
Anyone wanting to share new ways of working and tools should be able
to. This wasn't forbidden before the EOL for Softimage so it shouldn't
be now. Especially since the EOL.

Hey Chris, we have some problem if people want to promote their
software in a inappropriate way. ADSK did this this on the list.
Newtek an SideFX did it as well. It's alright. But please keep in
mind, this is the softimage mailing list.
If I want to model with hobbyist software, controlled by hobbyists
I will choose Blender. If you want to promote a software for
hobbyists, you should use the appropiate forums.
