Fair enough. Sorry if I came on to strong for you, though I really don't think it was imflamatory. I'll pull the reins in and put the horse back in the barn to avoid further consternation. ;)

EDIT: There HAS been things to talk about which is why I even responded. That was the vein I was looking for. Some are so disheartened and frustrated that they can't or won't see a glimmer of hope. To me that's what the updates for the new add on bring. 1C still has to deliver. The taxi ride isn't free anymore, but that doesn't mean I'm going to kick them out of the car.

Touché!

Thanks Blacksix.......(^+1 ROF puts them to shame)....great update.

Or is it posted by the sims American owner?

Quite possible, so many possiblilities, but its easy to suggest a negative one if it suits their agenda.

Why not read the report and check to see who posted it?

I'm fairly sure Loft who wrote the update lives in Russia. He could easily have posted this from home or Jason could have posted it from the States. It doesn't matter the original poster was just throwing the COD developers under the bus for having a holiday, by suggesting the ROF developers are working hard thru the holidays posting much needed information to all their supports.
