I agree....and don't agree. I generally don't do thank you notes. No time. I generally don't run first to the images of people who have commented on my work (mostly because I can't remember who in my rush to see everything new). I am new to fractal art, and people have been open and generous by viewing and commenting on my images. I never even think about the top 20. What is it's purpose anyway? I think I went there once during the post about the trumped up vote on the horrid image (which I really didn't think was that horrid) I vote for ones I like... I never say I voted, I just do it. Again, I'm not sure I see the problem. If there are as many opinions as there are fractals posted, I'm amazed that any get enough votes to make it. I just like to share and learn. Miriah
