It's not offensive, it's just an old, I guess argument isn't the right
word, it's just that some of the back-and-forths on this topic in the past
have gone on an on, and with extreme rancor, beating the proverbial dead
horse until it's just annunrecognizable smush.  So I admit that i, for one,
tend tor eact badly when it loos like that poor dead horse might be
resurrected again.

I personally do think, though, that it'd be interesting and useful to see
some solid comparisons between other programs and tS.   If nothing else, it
would establish some known paramaters/limitations for people to evaluate
and work with.  I do also think that, if Caligari could manage a
subdivision structure, i.e. with something like trueModeler (or whatever
one would call the older, student-priced versions), trueSpace (current
trueSpace, with continuing development) and a "super-duper" version geared
towards the film and other intensive-use industries (trueVision, truePower,
whatever), they'd be in a unique position.

As I see it, what people fear, with all the talk of going high-end, is the
possibility of affordable trueSpace versions disappearing in favor of
$30,000 program-plus-plugins setups.
