Fret, just a quick reminder to try to keep things as civilized as possible in this forum. One of the things I enjoy the most about this forum is the collegial atmosphere - there is such a wealth of knowledge here and so may members who are gracious with their time and experience. Not to mention that we are so fortunate that @cclarry spends hours of his day posting deals for the entire community.
Waves is certainly divisive in the music community, but we don't need to bring it here. I don't post much, but @Brian Walton seems to be a valuable member here, and his posts are helpful and respectful.
I don't mind Waves, and actually certainly love several of the plugins (Brauer Motion is one of my favorites!). I'm kind of bummed that I didn't get the $5 offer, as I'd like to complete my One Knob collection. (My fellow completist @Matthew Sorrels would understand)
Brian doesn't care for Waves. @Fleer hates WUP. It's fine - we all have our own opinions, but that doesn't make other's opinion, thoughts, and experiences less valuable.
