There's nothing wrong with postwork. In a way I'd say there's something wrong with never attempting it. Personally I love when a render comes out of Poser just like I wanted it, but that happens all too rarely - so I postwork it to get the desired result. Postwork can also be adding a frame, like the recent Motivational Poser I made.
The only thing is: Be upfront with it if you've postworked an image into oblivion. I'øveseen awesome examples of painted hair and -clothes - but then say so, so people don't think erroneously that it's something you can achieve IN Poser alone.
The "drive-by" commenters.. well.. I can't really take that seriously. If you paste the same comment on each and every image, it loses all validity and you end up making a fool of yourself.
THEN AGAIN - if the same comment is posted on some images, it might be someone whose native language is something other than English. Just like the feedback on eBay, it's mostly rather cookie-cutter in form.
Also, while I agree fully that no picture with missing shadows and vacant stares is a nuisance, it COULD just be someone trying to be ironic/satirical about the "genre" - I have yet to make a NVIATWAS-pic that ISN'T very much tongue in cheek. Some may post those pathetic renders just to prove a fact (that if it's a scantily clad woman with large bewbies - it WILL generate both clicks and comments)
Personally, I LIVE for comments. It's the reason I post my pics at all. If I didn't care about comments I culd just as well let the pictures sit quietly on my harddisk. But I prefer honest ones.

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
