Oh, it won't make me quit...i am not defensive....I just can't stand to be told stuff that I know is not true and mostly just rationalizations by folks that are helpless to do more than what they advize others to do, namely just take it...I for one will never just take it....I ain't made that way....I have been told I am arrogant, well, maybe so...but I don't get ran over in the name of being taught how do do something that is personal and different for every individual....right now there are 1590 surfers here and each one would give different advice due to there individual experience...do YOU have the time to waste getting taught every thing each one wants to MAKE you hear...I don't...I'd rather just have fun....you troll my pictures i let you know how little your opinion means to me in a "nice" private message..if you get snotty I save your message and if you troll me over and over I proceed to make a case for your artistic demise from renderosity...I won't take that treatment and no one else should either....there are certain people here that make a hobby out of this type of thing only because they know they CAN hurt people...if nobody accepted this treatment and made a nice case against them (and they do it to more than one or two) then that person would not be hear for long and when everyone LEARNED that they HAD to be nice with the criticism, then what you all have said could happen...no one listens much after the first 10 or 15 people just tried to be as nasty as they could...any learning experience goes right down the toilet.... lasly If I came to your pictures and wrote "Yeah, right" or "thanks for nothing" then would you be so willing to accept them as being other than what they are....just because they are here and are nasty doesn't mean they have the RIGHT to be.....or that you should HAVE to accept it....things can always change and be made better but not as long as people defend this type of abuse..........now, I'll get off the soapbox and crawl back into my little corner to do more artwork...and yeah, I got one of THOSE people that likes to come and crap all over my day, did it just an hour ago, so all is rather fresh in my mind....

All that serious artist stuff and how folks should just take the comments is a load of CR*P...most folks aren't constructive and I am not "in artschool"...I do this because it's fun and I post because I want to...not to be taught by some person that thinks that they are teaching me something...If I wanted lessons I would pay for them...most people have an over inflated sense of importance and just want to tell you how they would do it...SO WHAT!!!!...how someone else would do it is only important to them and people insecure enough to accept this treatment...I ain't trying to be Rembrandt, I'm just trying to have fun.....if you don't like my work then go pedal your pretentiousness elsewhere....most of the snide comments I get at times is from folks that do no works of their own and only want to find someone to screw with....some of you people ought to really hear yourselves....THAT is the problem most artists have...they take their selves too serious and think everyone else should have to....and telling people to get a thicker skin is telling the little trolls that they should be that insulting cause it's OK and people getting their feeling hurt is their problem...You troll my pictures then YOUR the one better have a thick skin cause I can dish it out MYSELF.....my thoughts are if you don't like my work and the way I do it then don't bother to look.....don't assume I EVER NEED your opinion.....I have been doing what I like and selling my stuff for over 50 years and the last thing I need is some snot nose with a computer that I will never EVER meet in life and means less than dog poop to me telling me how I should do my stuff....don't get me wrong...if you mind your manners I don't mind hearing from you...and if I like you I might even listen for a few minutes..but if your intent is to pretend how much you can teach me or to be MR. Art Critic...then don't waste Mine or your time being abusive....you'll only get your feeling hurt....

Thanks for the info B_D...will check out the interview.(both of them) and thank you Slinger for the fabulous set of swords...they are really fine...what a wonderful site...keep it up and I may enter the Daz contest there...thumbs up to you guys....

And don't forget to take a compliment for yourself...after all your the one that decided to help me...for that you get the main compliment....

Seems a little on the sarcastic side...I understand your frustration but don't you think just maybe you could do it with out the shrugs and trying to belittle someone who is showing concern...We should try to play nice...and be professional in your replies...I'll probably get blasted for this but i honestly just want to see everyone get along...maybe he just honestly missed part or got hooked by someone before....anyway, good luck with your postcard stuff....DW

That old link WAS the problem LH...Thanx for the help...tell the Techs I said great job...it was really starting to get me....Now all works great again...guess I better start coming in the front door instead of climbing in thru the window, eh????..lol...your the greatest....DW

Still the same here...would it help if I sent the exact error message??? can even send a screenshot of the page as a whole....still checking my side and will post this at Apple as well to see if anyone else is having this problem...could very well be me (well, my 'puter at least...lol)...I will PM you a copy of the coding of the error message.....DW

I keep getting SQL errors and the navigation bar at the top keeps having ??? in front of all of the choices and if you click them it takes you to a page where the whole body is SQL error....makes it difficult but not impossible to navigate back and forth...Need a fix for this...not sure what to fix if its my side of it...If it's your coding I will just make do but would like to know if it's me as I would like to fix it....tried flushing the cache but no effect..heard that phatbot trojan was attacking SQL servers but not sure if that applies here....sorry...posted here because the thread mentions SQL errors...

As with a lot of sites most come for the freebies...some come to Troll....some to make art and post...some to laugh at posts in the forum...some to get angry in the forums (hey takes all kinds)....and some just to Demand answers ....oh well, big deal...on to the next slobber-knocker...see ya there...

Yeehawww Spike............
