Heh. any man who thinks that creativity isn't art because it's not painting or sculpting is a closed-minded fool. I hear what yer saying with the whole 'software snobs' thing. I guess if you don't spend all of your time creating everything from the ground up every single time you load your program, it's not being creative...kind of like, if you were a sculptor, mixing your own plaster, or culturing your own marble, or smelting your own broze, etc etc etc. I think people get pissed because they're a dumbass and your not...

No worries,
