Another POV-Snob here...

1:
Modelling is for unintelligent people. The whole trick with
POV is to visualise (ok, vizualize if you like) a complete
composition behind your eyes, not just fool around with
previews, dragging objects around.

2:
The pronunciation pee-oh-vee for POV is only acceptible for
people who silently think "Persistence of Vision" whenever
they use the abbreviation POV. All of those who think the
spelling is "Persestance of Vizion" (take a look at some
websites and find out how creative some people can be with
the spelling of those three words) should speak of POV
(pronunciation: pov). Personally, I prefer to say pov with a
long "O", which means more to me than just 'persistence of
vision'.

3:
A new verb should enter the dictionary: to pov. Meaning: 1)
to write a scene 2) to render a scene

4:
To use image maps for textures is cheating. It's like
boasting about a great fire you built when you secretly
soaked the wood with spirits before you lit it. Procedural
textures are the only true textures.

5:
Halos were too simple to do complicated things.
Media are too complicated to do simple things.

6:
Making animations with POV is for people who have too much
time on their hands and can't figure out how to set their
camera's and lightsources to get the perfect view of the
scene.

7:
A scene is only finished when in case the code gets lost.
