Karen,

I'm sorry you're doomed for such a busy weekend, but I'm afraid I'm going to add my name to the growing list of departees.

Maybe in the future I'll try again, but for now I'm just burnt out and this is creating too much stress. I have to agree with a lot of what Acadia said and I believe I've said it earlier in this thread. If the intent of this group was to openly commit to being receptive to honest comments, it seems to have warped at least in the minds of some people into a list of people required  to comment on their image.

And I have to add, that anyone who has visited this thread is very well aware that all sorts of business that does not pertain to signing up regularly occurs here... But for some, the moment they become disappointed or disenfranchised, up pops a post to the Poser Forum at large venting their discontent. I can't say I appreciate that.

So, thank you all for allowing me to participate. I've learned quite a bit not only from the comments left on my images, but from the comments I've read on other peoples work. I've become a fan of quite a few members, and they will no doubt remain on my favorites list, but should I comment, it won't be as an official member of the critique group.
