Usually, if I say simply, "that doesn't work for me", it's because I just can't articulate why something "isn't right". It's not that I'm trying to be dismissive. Often I have the feeling that it's something rather personal to me; I have the feeling that other's might like it, or even that it's quite good objectively, it's just that for me, something's missing. If I can articulate why something doesn't work, I try to. If I can't, I can't. I just don't have the vocabulary or the training to put some emotions into words, I guess... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
