Fair enough, Matt - I stand corrected. I, personally, enjoy very much viewing the "own things" that you do. I agree, for the most part, about the Moderator of this gallery moving the image to another gallery. Though, I would think Nick would have spoken to the artist involved if he'd had a chance before doing so. My surmise is that the artist was unavailable to be consulted and, since it is (and was when this happened with the same image last fall) the only post in the gallery of the artist, that it can be extrapolated that its sole reason for being posted in the first place was for the purpose of this disruption. I agree with, Jeff, in that I probably would have deleted it and - I'm guessing - Nick probably moved it as a "politically correct" action that was less drastic than removal. I'm just guessing here. On the other hand, I agree wholeheartedly that the staff here should not just unilaterally snag images of bonafide contributors and move them to other galleries and we SHOULD complain LOUDLY and LONG if that happens. There are a lot of "gray areas" when it comes to fractal art, it seems, and I'm sure many "purists" - whom are entitled to be that - would have a problem with many of the images on the fractal pages. The Poser gallery is more easily categorized - its for images where the main focus of the image is the use of the software called "Poser". Same with the Bryce gallery for images made predominately with that program. Here, there are a large number of fractal generators, so its just called the "Fractal" gallery to simplify things and there's a looser standard, I suppose, for what constitutes a "fractal" image. Certainly my stuff would raise the hackles of the old fractal purists of years past. In any society or group, there must be at least some "rules" or "laws" to keep everything from collapsing into anarchy - hopefully very FEW rules/laws! At some point the rules need to be enforced, though, and this IS a company's property that our files reside on and they reserve the right to call the shots in their own "house". If it had been any other situation where the image got yanked, trust me - I'd be right there with you lambasting the "powers that be". I just heard from a friend who posts at Deviant and he said that they deleted one of his posts because it, supposedly, wasn't made with a fractal program! It was an IFS, flame-like image made with the fractal generator, Visions of Chaos. They threatened to ban him for it, as well. Thankfully, we don't get that kind of treatment here. Rick
