yea, i understand that, but what exactly are we as posters advertising??? shouldn't the art be able to stand on its own without it becoming an advertising/popularity thing?? and please know that i most sincerely do not mean any disrespect, but isn't it supposed to be about the art?? i mean if i go to an art gallery there are not signs telling me how many people stood in front of each painting and what they had to say about each as they looked at them... i mean folks would still be looking, and still be commenting, and doing whatever else it is they do right now, but the 'advertising' aspect would just be diminished... i dunno... maybe it's just me... i mean i'm pretty sure it is... :))
