Well said.

I hear what Abers is saying and I must admit to being slightly stirred especially the bit about taking criticism, I guess he is subscribing to the "short sharp shock treatment", personally I feel that more people with potential will be put off by this approach and really I don't see the need for this if someone is genuinly trying hard to improve, maybe if someone is very arogant and condescending about other peoples work and there images are fundamentally flawed then just maybe there is a place for this but something that I would be extremely careful with.

Forums to me tend to get moulded by the types of people that frequent it and naturally friendships will form I don't see anything wrong with that, I have to say the more human/friendly approach of this forum along with good quality images and good knowledge of the subject matter is what attracted me to subscribe. Some of the other forums were a bit OTT/Anal about the subject so I simply did not join.

Well thats my opinion for what it's worth
