Quote - Yes, but should all this sharing be done in the galleries and should it be required?  Weren't the forums created for those who wanted to share their ideas and to help others?

I never said all the sharing should be done in the galleries. Obviously the forums are the place to discuss specific issues (as we are doing now).  I wouldn't want to see giving credits as any sort of requirement for gallery posts either. I'd encourage artists to do so though. Useful assessment or criticism of work in the galleries is impossible without some idea of what the person has done for themselves and what is imported content created by others.
