I agree only a bit of what your saying regarding the "i scratch your back thing" i dont have alot of time myself to comment on other people's images, i do it when i do my gallery patrol and only if something catches my eye - i get about the same amount of comments on my work and thats without commenting on others .... i appreciate that they take the time to do so.

Now i will admit that if i come across an image by my fav artist and i dont find it appealing in any way then i wont say anything at all .....
