>
> To the team at Blender Foundation,
>  
> I have been using Blender for a few years now, and over the last 
> couple of months have been watching the builds of 2.5 with baited 
> breath.
>  
> The layout, style and ease of use of 2.5 is completely staggering.  I 
> found it very intuitive to get into and use, and I like many other 
> Blender users around the world cannot wait for the final release of 
> 2.5.
>  
> I just wanted to offer you all my congratulations on your achievement, 
> and I don't just mean 2.5.  I mean the achievement of putting together 
> one of the most amazing open source packages that I have ever seen, 
> and continuing to develop the program over the years, and allowing 
> enthusiasts to get to grips with CG cost-effectively.  Both myself and 
> I'm sure thousands of other Blender users around the world find it 
> hard to remember what we did before Blender.
>  
> I am shortly to release a joint collaboration with a friend on 
> Youtube, comprising of music that we have both written and performed, 
> as well as an accompanying video that I created entirely within 
> Blender.  If it were not for this amazing tool, this project would 
> never be achieved.  It is the enthusiasm and commitment of teams like 
> yourselves that make using Blender a real joy.  I consider myself not 
> just a user, but a member of an extended family.
>  
> I take my hat off to Ton and the rest of the team there.  I offer you 
> both my congratulations and best wishes for the future.
