Well, I finally looked at the top 20. Not as bad as I thought, not as good oviously as it should be-- I do vote every night-- I only saw one pic I would have voted on tonight and that was Vali's dying priestess. Not even Toxic Angel's was up to his terribly high standard. But, I don't see it hurts Poser at all. It hurts the people who are voted in without merit, they lose the edge to create. Certainly doesn't hurt the ones not voted in-- is this a place you want to be compared to, doubt it. Kind of a ghetto of unmessed hair and ladies without souls behind their expressionless eyes. Pity the place, but don't envy it. There's no There there. Emily with apologies to Gertrude Stein.
