If you are going to act on them, then it is very helpful
for the rest of us who don't fit this stereotypical artist
category to have it explained so we can understand your
view point and not just write you off as coming across as
an abrupt jerk.

You're talking about your personal feelings in the above
statement and blatantly disregarded someone else's in a
previous post... It frequently pays to re-read before
posting. Fix the spelling, grammar and most importantly
that phrase that can be misconstrued and make you sound
like a jerk! I _frequently_ have to partially rewrite
posts to at least attempt to avoid sounding negative.

That happens to be their L -> R appearance order in the
picture. I can't spot any other significance. If I didn't
see it, then there is a strong chance at least one other
here doesn't see the relevance either.

It is quite difficult to get feedback, especially
constructive feedback, from nearly anybody, as I well know!

The idea of this forum is to be able to discuss ideas. If
you have contravening notions that can be explained or
proven, then please share them with us. There is the
chance that we are wrong! Of course there will be posts
that annoy you. Incorrect spelling can be annoying too, for
a common example from the group. There are times where
corrections need to be pointed out. If you always phrase
things in a positive way, eg "You can get your message
across more clearly if you check your spelling" as opposed
to "Your spelling is crap", it is seen as helping each
other as opposed to knocking someone down.
Ross was excited by the picture Martin posted, and you
immediately turned around and knocked it with no
justification. Irrespective of your reasons, well intended
or otherwise, you came across as the bad guy.

A huge time sink, I think everyone would agree, but a waste
of time, going by the old JAB and Skunkworks, unlikely. It
makes sense to have JAB up and running first as it provides
advertising for the artists, subsequently giving contact
points and chance for more sales etc.

We know you mean well, but please consider the greater
circle of peers. It will help your credibility in addition
to providing valuable feedback from someone with
experience.

How about if I stand on your tail instead? ;-)
Scrapper, Black Dragon, far from flawless, but trying to
better the furry community where he can.
