Well DarkE, you're not the first to notice it by any means "myfriendsinflatemyego-itis" has been rampant in the poser gallery for months if not years, it's one of the reasons I stopped posting pics.

These days I ignore the galleries totally except for a few people who's artwork I know is something to drool over :)
