a pyschological need to make themselves feel better by disparaging someone has been going on for ages... haves versus have nots kind of thing. Another person here in Renderosity has received the same comment and has grown tired of it. I suggested that they something to an admin. if it continues.. we will talk to someone about this as commenting in such a manner is not constructive, no matter how veiled it is. thanks everybody for the wonderful insights you have given!! Misha... thanks, i think i will,lol
