I have purchased more of Anton's products than any other single artist's, and am very happy with them. I have learned a great deal from that investment in our Master Artist's works, and someday soon plan to be a thorn in his side and give him a run for his money! ;p As to whether you like Anton or not Mesh Magick, did it ever occur to you that no one cares? If you think he is snooty, it is a reflection on your own inner self worth. He actually does not have to associate with or be nice to anyone, his products actually are enough. After all, one does not see Geoffry Beane associating with his customers, nor likely did one see Renoir doing much associating with his customers either. His work is actually enough, believe it or not ;) That he actually is personable and spends time with people and interacts, is a plus, and some of us, whose name I shall not say but whose initials are Mesh Magick do not deserve to be associated with perhaps ;)
