It is true, Bob. A few months ago I hanged out a little bit in that group, and those comments are typical.
As Adam said, some posters there do create interesting images, that are at the same time accepted by the group.

Look at it this way: if good art were more popular, we pretentious artsy types would have to make an even bigger effort to find stuff to like. :) j On 6/26/06, Bob W <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Bob, > > > > This is a rare occasion that I have to disagree with you.
