    Does it matter if I entered or not? What did I post in my first post? It 
wasn't a "Great image" contest, it was merely a "Great PoV-Ray" contest. 
Full stop.

     Yes, and as good as they were, not one of them won. *Pure* PoV won. So 
what was the point of anyone else entering?

   Then you carry on, you fall into the trap too. "unappreciative". Please.

   I'd rather not swear here, but the hashes mean "Piss" so that you know. 
Now read it in the context that you got my answer, (see my next sentence 
below).

    Yes, emotional, but they understand, they 'know' MY points. Listen RD, I 
sent my image to one of the *judges* on a friendly basis, not knowing that 
person was one of the judges, how do you think I feel now?! How do you think 
he feels??

   I'm glad I didn't enter, I respect the person I sent it to, and wouldn't 
want to spoil that. This is why I'm arguing that it should have been set-up 
properly.
