okay... this is a very interesting discussion and seems worth hashing out. limiting the number of IMAGES posted to this forum to 3 seems like a reasonable first pass 'rule of thumb'... i do feel that if someone is excited enough about something, or has a point / reason for posting more than 3 then ON OCCASSION it's just fine to do so. limiting art posts in a forum intended for discussion is a courtesy that i think we all should follow out of respect for eachother. this won't be a 'hard and fast rule' but one that we use to guide our participation here. for me... i am a ZERO technical fractahaulic so i am afraid until we get some discussions going all i will have, personally, to contribute here are my pictures...perhaps art techniques on how i use fractals for illustrations. even in this case, where all i have to offer ARE images, i am quite satisfied with the 3 per day rule. this will in no way limit the number of discussion threads i can start here.
