I remember you talking at length about your misgivings about CMS. I agree with you. Don't like any software that has to 'phone home' from time to time to keep updated. My work computer is NOT connected to the internet just in case a program slips by me. I want updates when I want updates not when the company decides I need one.

Also, I so agree that knowing how to do something yourself is far more empowering than having someone do it for you. I know where my content is and I know where to find what I need because I've organized it the way that makes sense to me. The DAZ way never made any sense to me.

With my occassional purchase at DAZ, I never let DIM do anything. I download the individual files and install them myself. One day, I'm sure that DIM will be the only way to get anything from DAZ. That day will be the last day I buy from DAZ.

I never saw any reason for DIM of CMS. They just made something simple more difficult and time consuming not to mention sometimes confusing. But DAZ won't back down because they're never wrong.
