I'm sure it's no fun for Tammy to own up to this and face a new barrage of slings and arrows, but you've gotta give her credit for publicly taking responsibility, dontcha think? IMO this saves considerable face. We may have our disagreements or disillusionment regarding the AOY selection process, but now we have a succinct and forthright explanation. I for one believe Tammy, the point being that her explanation means that none of this had anything to do with jitters about a potential Legume win. Because I'm one of the people who at first made that apparently incorrect assumption, I can only hope that Tammy and the staff can appreciate why it looked that way from where we sit. I'd like to humbly suggest that we non-staff members forgive and move on. Mistakes were made, accountability has been expressed, and a new year is just around the corner. I spent a few hours yesterday working on some cute holiday greetings renders in Poser for the kids in my family. What this means is that in my little world, I'm going to be considered Artist of the Year. :-) There's no reason why we all can't be that to someone in our lives. Better days, everyone!
