Ah, yes -- lacking any real arguments, it's always handy to dig into the "assigning questionable motives to your opponent" semantic bag of tricks -- i.e. "obviously a lot of people can't stand the fact that there are other people around more capeable [sic - they wear capes à la Superman, I suppose] than they are, so they dream that if only Poser would "professionalize" enough, their own status might be elevated, too."  The problem with reaching deep into the "assigning questionable motives" bag is that one tends to fall -- headfirst -- into it.  :biggrin:

An individual's internal "status" is their own -- not what others choose to assign to them.  If time is spent worrying & value assessed over the approval of crusading forumites -- then there's not much hope of ever achieving personal contentment in one's own work.  However: it's a good thing that self-appointed forum judges have all of the validity of.......self-appointed forum judges.  They are as worthy of being taken seriously as the level of seriousness which they endeavor (snort) to put on others.

I'm all for "making a better Poser".  A worthy goal.  And I have no doubts whatsoever about who shouldn't be put in charge of the project.
