Counter point from a terminal hobbyist

Drac, please take a closer look at the screen names of postings in Bryce and the early experimentations into the program that are being posted.  I comment on some, sometimes a lot, sometimes few, based on how much time I have to spend looking. (which ain't much) 

I quit rating the stuff many months ago.  I quit checking rate my stuff when I occasionally have time to play in bryce and post.  Key word "play"..   I do leave comments though.  I know I don't have the time to devote to growing my meager skills much anymore....BUT... I do remember my earlier days when I gave a durn whether someone liked it or not.  I know I felt encouraged when someone took the time let me know they at least looked.  So I do comment when I feel someone is at least trying something beyond moving the store bought models and props around, or generating two to thre defaults terrains and posting it.   I don't hug and kiss the artist but I will offer words of encouragement and point out what I like if appropriate. 

I DO AGREE WITH... helpful, courteous, constructive criticism is seldom seen anymore.  I suggest that  the better users stop being so discreminating that they simply ignore or "toss out" the less than perfect and occasionally remark what is good and what needs more work on the passed-overs.
