Funny, I didn't see any "For Freestuff Contributors Only" tag on this thread. One does see this sort of complaint about non-exhibitors in the galleries, and , IMHO, is an equally obvious non-starter as rebuttal. I do have a gallery, and when comments are posted, I routinely check the sender's linx for their gallery. If there isn't any, I think: "pity", and move on. I don't play a musical instrument, write plays, or dance. Does this mean I have no right to an opinion about examples of these artforms? Nor would I catagorise this as a "flamewar". The comments in this thread seem to me to be more of a venting of mild irritation, than anything. The fact that "this is the second time" he's taken heat for this game should tell him something. All the chest beating about his "generosity" overlooks the fact that these items are posted to attract people to his site, i.e.: IT'S ADVERTISING! Nothing wrong with that, but no-one should misconstrue it as altruism. And, just as when a commercial is replayed ad-nauseum on the tube, one gets irritated. Because repetition is annoying annoying annoying. And, as stated by several of us above, from the standpoint of PR, it is of dubious utility.
