Quote - Was this regarding our PM exchange about the Photoshop/Liquefy and Paintshop Pro/Warp tools?  Or another PM from someone else? 

It doesn't sound like there was an "exchange".  Apparently someone sent him a message telling him that his art was a waste of space.

I can't see you saying such a thing to anyone :)

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
