WandM, I agree. I don't know whether it's sad or funny that you've chosen a public area like the forum to bring to everyone's attention what they already know about my commenting style, or whether or not you agree with my comments, but I'm not willing to turn this into a slanging match of any nature. All I'd like to say is thank you for the advertisement on the fact that within my criticisms I am quite happy to give honest opinions and not just sit there patting backs - in fact, I actually do take the time to praise your earlier picture which I thought was very good. I am used to being able to pass technical comments on pictures, which have so far been received well, and have received several IM's thanking me for my technical judgement. If any of the mods feel that my comment is out of order and in no way constructive, I'm quite happy for it either be requested that I delete it, or that it is deleted par se. As stated, my comment wasn't in any way an attack on yourself, it was a genuine attempt at offering technical advice reagrding that particular image. I presume that if people leave their pictures open for comment they are also open to constructive advice on improving their pictures instead of just "ooooh, lovely" comments. That said, I'm going to make no further public comment on this issue for reasons of which you are aware from a 3rd party. (",)
