many times dude, people will merely pat eachother on the back. Sometimes, especially in the galleries, it seems to be a way of saying "Yours rawks now go look at my gallery." Most of the time, I try to say something constructive, however, sometimes I don't know what to say, but I'll really like an image, so I'll say "Dude, this kicks ass, show us summore" and whatnot. It varies. And like alpha said about Punkclown's image, he was posting something he might enter for this month's Challenge, which the theme of the month is triptych. anyways, take care.
