wait.  i certainly wasn't trying to be controversial. i am not trying to change how anyone uses their gallery or comments in anyone else's.  all i'm trying to do is trade critiques with others.  i'm very glad karen has established a way for us to do this.

beryld - i believe i get what you want, and pretty much did from the start except for thinking you wanted more than one thread per artist.  i just personally disagree.  i could get into why, but i don't see a point in it.  i find favorites easier, and i can do that.  and i want feedback on finished works, not w.i.p's, which is totally different, imho.  there are tons of forums for that, and i'd use one of  those should i want that.
