Whining in one thing, but these accusations are rediculous. A quick look 
at Gilles' website and the number of images produced per year clearly 
shows that there are almost no images "he's worked on for (more than 
two) months". In 2000 (the year 'Wet Bird' was produced), Gilles posted 
16 completed images, most of which are detailed, time-consuming full 
scenes, in addition to several radiosity experiments (also time-consuming).
