on clones i'm poppi. i've been poppi since day one on the web. i'm not about to make up a fictionalized persona to come in here and say what i would like to say, myself. that's just slim, shadey stupid. period. i think some of us are more than just a screen name. it would be very hard for me to make a clone who did not sound just like, me...poppi. more trouble than it would be worth. (of course, i live in a fairytale world where stuffing is wrong, even when prizes are at stake...and, where changing the rules midstream is wrong, as well.) clones...well, personally, if i am not acquainted with someone's screenname, i am a little leery of them....then, if i look for a gallery and there is non...red flags dance around in front of my eyes. call it a reaction to "stranger danger", if you will. the folks that i enjoy here are the ones with a style of their own. perhaps, some are really good at this "cloning" business. however, i think that becoming a clone would be having to really cut down on one's personal "style". geeze, that's how bebop keeps getting caught, y'all.
