Since it is no secret that Deb, Martin and I are friends, I am sure that some will take what I have to say as my jumping to their defense. Instead, I hope my comments will be received with the spirit in which they were given, not spoken with prejudice but with a sincere desire to understand. And to that end, let me first say, that I wish my friend had taken his comment to everchanging in an IM before leaving it as a gallery comment and not inferred that the artist had done something to ruin the presentation of the textures, as I have seen far worse done with nothing said....but I can say that in honesty, because I am honest with my friends. What I don't understand is why, now that this seeming oversight or misinformation has been clarified, why have the credits on this image not been changed? Would it be such a hard thing to go to the image, hit the edit button and give the proper credit? Had you given NO one credit, I'd say that was unnecessary, but since you did bother to give credits and are now aware those credits are erroneous, wouldn't the proper thing be to edit those credits so they are correct? Not everyone reads comments, and I agree not everyone reads credits, but the people who are reading the credits are the potential customer of the vendors and as such, it is the right place to correct what appears to be a wrong. And as someone says here....we don't HAVE to give credit, but if we are going to bother to do so, we should do so correctly and when we as humans err, we should do the humanistic thing and correct those errors. Now I return you to your normal programming.
