Artico may have a point - their method of making it however was not the best. Never try to make a point about something by openly insulting the target audience. Hence my perhaps rude and blunt reaction - both of them. It is perhaps a good thing for Artico that he/she did not make such a post to the Poser forum, the term "verbal anihilation" springs to mind, regardless to the merit the original pont may or may not have. In regard to having a gallery - people will often like to see what the speaker can do, to gauge the merit of the speaker i.e. do they have a great deal of experience within the community? That may be why the matter was brought up. One thing I've learned just by sitting back and watching - never make a sweeping or controvetsial statment unless you're prepared for an onslaught and are willing to back up what you say wiht more than just words.
