Swear on a stack of unfinished sudoku puzzles, this is my last post in this thread, but I have to say this:

Don't get sucked into a different kind of vortex, the one where you post a critique -- with the expectation of getting feedback on your critique! (Feel familiar to anyone?) Just don't. A critique is an opinion, perhaps a considered one or perhaps just the consequence of indigestion, but it's just an opinion. Put it out there, and let loose of it. It doesn't matter if the artist whose work is being reviewed agrees with you or appreciates the insight. It doesn't matter if another Forum member comes along and disagrees with you, suggesting a different procedure or solution (that is, having the audacity to express his or her own opinion).

As the inimitable Bill Murray reminded us in that inestimable summer-camp send-up, "Meatballs," --

It Just Doesn't Matter!

Focus on the work.

Now, a cease and desist order has just been faxed to my cubicle . . .
