shadownet, thanks for clarifying your meaning. And maxxx, no need to defend your not having a gallery. I was simply stating that it's most easy to understand the interest in getting hits if you have a gallery here and have experienced that singular--and not entirely pleasant-- feeling of posting your work into a "deafening silence." Yes, of course, comments are better than hits, and well-crafted critique is better than comments. But hits are better than silence, and I defy anybody to argue that point.
