*""The complaints were that the gallery arrival pages were looking like the backs of porn magazines with all of the close up shots of T & A. ""
*I agree it did.  I got into this debate before and went and looked at some of the pro-nude artists and found some fabulous work.  Its a shame that they have to be grouped with those who do the tits = hits thing.  But I still have to agree with the thumbnail rule.  The default censor nudity flag worked just fine for me - but on the other hand I can see how someone who leaves the flag off because they like to view "artisitic" nudity still doesn't want to see the back of a penthouse every time they come to rendo.

If you give an inch they take a MILE and that is something that I have found to be a hard cold fact in my life.  As you can see now it's still true.  The rules seem to be very clear and precise to me but people will still do whatever they can to figure out how to get a boob or a pubic hair into the thumb.  No offense intended towards the original artist in discussion here.

As for a thong.  Well I  understand that in many places in the world that is pretty much the standard.  (Thank god not  here I DO NOT want to see 80 yr old women in thongs).  The way I would judge that one is to say what would I do if my 13 yr old tried to leave the house in one.  The answer is that I would beat her within an inch of her life and then chain her to the water heater - so to me I have to say yes a thong = nudity.

p.s.  I don't actually "beat" her that's a figure of speech for emphasis = D
