Hello Chris,

maybe my english is not very good or you got my mail wrong?!

It was  a reaction onto the mail from Ton, which looked for me as if it 
was a call for comments and reactions.

So I did.

"My personal commercial undertaking" and maybe other writers needs 
stable and reliable structure, so I personally "voted" for a quick 
change, I have no doubt that Marco did a good job and all will work fine.

Hmm. I really can`t understand why you are so negative about a work 
which will in the end also help Blender to be (even more) successfull? I 
was and I am still a part of the Blender Community, so I feel very bad 
if someone seems to say that I am just an "outsider" who wants to make 
quick money with blender. I am sorry if I now missunderstand you. It is 
really hard to express my feelings at the moment.

All the best,
Carsten
