I think this thread should be locked!

I agree, that people who make freebies should be thanked, regardless of what that freebie is. They don't have to make them. It's very generous of them to make them, period!

I want to scream whenever I see someone's generosity criticised!

I want to apologize to the person this thread is very obviously directed to for the rudeness of some people demonstrate. Your talent is appreciated, and so is your generosity and I hope you won't stop doing what you enjoy and sharing your creations because of this.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
