My desire to download any more of your kits was diminished when the
password had to be requested.
And upon seeing that you started making public those statistics about
precise location, age and date, and with messages like this, my desire
to download (or even build) any of your kits was diminished even one
more step.
So, what do we have to think about that people on the chart?
What's your intention in exposing them in such detailed way?
Agreed, you don't give names, but still is a lot of information made public.
Do we considered them "bad people" for not sharing photos of your kits
after they downloaded them?
Because, I mean, those statistics are useful only for you, none of us really
have any need to know who and where and when downloaded your kits.
Were those people informed their precise location, age, download file and date
was to be made public?
This is not the first time you complain about people not building your kits.
I still don't understand if you design just because you like to design,
or if you design just to get the attention and praise of others.
If it is the second you are looking for, then good luck! 99% of paper kit
designers never receive praise, comments or build photos of their designs.
But it seems to torment you not to have that kind of feedback.
Surely if you like to design just for the sheer joy of designing for yourself,
then you will keep designing kits no matter if people build or not.
You just can not control at all whether people build or do not build a
downloaded file. Or to write comments or send photos.
If you have already decided to stop offering the kits, then why not stop right now?
Why to wait for 4 more people to request password?
Or why not stopping with 200 people, or 250? or 500?
If you expect people to build your kits, and you like to receive comments and feedback
then why closing at all?
Keeping distribution open increases the chances of people building your kits.
But announcing that you stop everything does not increase the chances at all.
In any case, as much as I like some of your kits I still don't have, I have no desire at all
to be included and exposed in that chart. So I won't ask for a password.

It is clear that
a) You did not notice that I only mentioned age, place and country so no privacy problems;
b) I was interested to know something about the way others drew their own kits;
c) You hadn't the slightest idea that the pdf's were a result of a freetime leisure and were published because 'someone might like somew of them'.,
If you had then you would not complaint about a missing manual or so.
d) I mentioned several times, on several occasions to be interested to find out why paper modeling wasn't a hobby-subject for youngsters although it's cheap and challenging -> both aspects were attractive in 'our' (clear to me now) time...
Anyhow, it's funny to get a reaction all of a sudden.
Thanks.
