I may have been misinterpreted as I sometimes am, on this thread, but my reasons were two fold: 1 to have a lighter hearted confab, in the light of the possibly and to some annoying copyright issue that is going on. 2 it wasnt a competition on who are the best artists, but more about who and what individuals like, and why, we are all different, and what we like/makes us tick are different, I thought it may have been an interesting thread, and an opportunity to say who has inspired us, there are far to many people that I have great respect for to mention but have a certain bonding with some members from IMs/gallery comments etc that I have had with people, and people that have gone out of their way to help me personally and artistically, that is reflected in my earlier post to this thread and is not supposed to mean I like anyone more or less than anyone else. I think we are sometimes all to reserved in out commenting, and should be a little more open, I could probably put absolute rubbish in my gallery (and have done) and it will get an excellent rating. It was intended to be a bit of fun in darker times, and had hoped that the response would have been more open. Thank you for reading I am controversial I am cynical I am LostPatrol Good bye
