hmmm ... as i recall it correctly, 3 to 4 months ago, you was the one who was mentioned 4 to 5 times a week, didn't seem to bother you then either, Arend ... the hot20 hasn't got anything to do with the quality of your work, but you can't expect people to vote 30 times for you with only 12 comments ... there are so many good artists here nowadays, with incredible pieces of artwork ... makes ya think the hot20, which seems to be important to artists just like constructive comments, isn't enough anymore, and may have to be expanded to a hot40 ... but where is it enough??? some are popular, some aren't ... some get works of art in a few hours, others work on it for days, some get something on the screen right away as soon as they start up the program, others have to program a formula ... all don't really matter ... it's what YOU wish to share with people, and if you want to see it expressed by being mentioned in a hot20, then you don't do this for yourself, but for satisfaction of others have a nice day, Harmen
