Thanks Tim, coming from you, that means a lot to me--I am a great 
admirer of your work (and love working with your macros).

I will admit that some submissions are disappointing, especially when 
little or no effort is put into the description of the work done--leaves 
nothing to really comment on. If a poor image has been the result of a 
steep learning curve for a newbie, and they provide enough of a 
description so that you can experience a little of their creative 
journey; this is enough for me to pat them on the back and give them 
marks for trying. When on the other hand, the description of the tools 
used reads, "Wings3D and a brain", this I find to be totally out of the 
spirit of the competition, and quite annoying.

Submissions should be done with one's best effort, and showing a sense 
of pride and excellence in whatever has been created--which is what I 
aspire to. Generalisations like, "...I have seen little truly deserving 
of the top places.", is just plain upsetting.

But, enough said on the subject. Time to go put up a web site where I 
can start sharing some of my work...
