i neglected to tell these fine people......nothing......i based this thread on your comments in the gallery......i don't have a letter from you at Hotmail, my home e-mail, or in the form of an instant message in one of those little blue boxes.......and, as anyone can ascertain from the manner in which you worded your comments in the gallery, you were insinuating that i'd seen your store items with the card background and decided to take up that theme and run with it.....read it to yourself here, and see if that's how it sounds to you upon second inspection: (copy-paste) 1:I don't mean to be an anus, but I have been using cards not only in my logo,but for my figures in the store. How come you are getting all the credit for making them?? 2:You know something, it is like really funny that I put two figures in the store with card backs two months ago and then all of a sudden someone eles is getting all the credit for doing it. But good job on the figure. #2 is the one that really got my attention.......that statement easily translates into "i think you're ripping off my idea".....i didn't flame you.....and i think i made it perfectly clear in the first post in this thread that i wanted to be fair, and to attempt to vaildate your claim that i'm ripping you off.....i'm not trying to make you look bad or give you a hassle......you made the insinuation that producing images as cards was your idea, and that i was taking the credit for it as my original idea.......hence we have this thread, coming to C&D soon, i'll lay odds........LOL......this thread exists to give you and anyone else participating or just enjoying the results of this project a voice in the matter.....i'm sure someone will step up and defend your side.....that's just how it works.......but, this isn't a hostile attempt to rile or belittle you.....i'd like it better if those who post wouldn't resort to flaming, but who am i to tell people how to post??????? i'm going back to Hotmail to see if this alledged letter has arrived yet......one last thing.......you say that you made cards, and no one cared........that might be because of the nature in which your cards were presented.....as images for your store items and in your logo.....all i did was present an idea with an example and suggest that we share the project as a community........and that's all i have to say about that.........
