hey Spider..I think you've criticized enough of everyone's pictures
here...instead of telling us the bad things about the pics, why not the good
things?

Also I have to complain about ken..who ever he is and his butt buddy here
spider think they are...they have no right to complain about such stupid and
small details and errors. Like for example!

A few posts down "CD-ROMs attempt at photo realism"
ken said and I quote!

"That's a nice set of table coaster you have there (don't try to figure
it out it's an inside joke around here). Seriously this is one of the
better attempts on this theme I have seen to date. It is evident you
put considerable effort into it and it has paid off. Be careful with
the use of the work photo realism. Do you want it to look like a photo,
or do you want it to look like a real life view of this object in this
setting, fooling the viewer that it was indeed really there ??"
Now its a positive statement..but he has to add something negative! like
below where he gets upset about something so stupid and small...the use of
the word photorealism in this mans subject!


   KEN:    "I disliket he term photo realism for the above stated argument.
It
seems contrary to the intent of the artist to mimic reality in a
virtual medium."

I mean come on! shut up! i dont ever see you or spider posting your
pictures! im sure you could do a kick ass ob but come on man!

Generally most people do comment by saying what they like and what they
don't like.  This is called feedback.  I don't hear anyone who posts their
images complaining about your so-called harshness of criticism.  In fact,
most are grateful for the criticism, as, that's how we get better.

And at least, when they criticize, they post their name, because they stand
behind what they say rather than hiding behind their words so they can be
more harsh and condescending.

Now, if your primitive intellect can do this, why not sort your messages by
sender, and look at the scores of pics sent by Ken and Spider.

I do not think you will change anyone's mind here about Ken or Spider.
Those lurkers out there who find Ken uppity, or Spider condescending, we
haven't heard from them, and I think that if you, whoever you are, do find
their comments so, you should bring it up in a polite manner rather than
being condescending and harsh yourself!  Comprende?

Anyhow.  Bye bye now you poor craven soul.

It is understood that when one requests comments, they request both
positive AND negative comments.  If you only got positive comments, you
would never get better at what you do.  You pick on Ken and Spider
merely because they post often and spend a lot of time and effort to
reply to pretty much every post that is made.  Please take your immature
flame war elsewhere.

A note to the kids out there, the internet isn't as anonymous as you may
think.

Another note, you don't have to pretend to be a genius at POV to be
accepted here - the few months I've spent in here have dramatically
improved my pictures, and I've never seen anyone told that they suck for
anything they've done while learning to use POV.

 Thank you very much. I accept the honor you bestow upon me and
appreciate the compliments. It is nice to be recognized for the
effort I make around here to help others. Your tone is a little
odd but I won't let it take away from the underlying compliments
you are paying me.

Again thank you.

I did wonder about that.  Unfortunately Netscape makes it more difficult
than normal to grab the full header from a message.  I figured someone
with a real newsreader (please note, I have no objections to Netscapes
newsreader, and hence I use it) would pick up the header info and figure
it out if it were the case.

HAHAHAHA, I LOVE THAT!!!

Well, all I can say to *ahem* Nicholas DePetrillo is that Ken and Spider
both put a lot of work in around here, and have many good comments to make,
and things to share.  All of which help the genereal POV-Ray community, so
personally I feel that if you don't like what they're saying, why not email
them personally, and don't act like a coward and try to hide your name!!!

<sigh> it just makes me sad.  If he'd come in as a new user of POV and
wanted to learn instead of show off, this would have been much
different.

Nope.  I *think* (correct me if I'm wrong) that it is actually the extended
headers in the newsgroup post.  This gives a detailed explanation of the
authors name, E-Mail address, the format from the post (text/html,
text/plain, or something like that), some other info, and the poster's IP
address.  The IP address identifies someone on the Internet.  It is of the
format x.x.x.x, with x being an integer from 0 to 255.  Since Nick has cable
modem (SUPER FAST) services through @Home.com, his never changes.  However,
with a dial-up ISP, it changes more-often-then-not.  Right now, my IP is
208.210.22.16.  Now next time I dial up to my ISP, it could change.  Maybe
to 208.210.22.10 or even 208.210.22.99.  Usually, on these dynamic IP's
(where it changes), the last number changes.

Scott noticed, by looking at the message headers, that Nick's (being a cable
modem user through @home) IP was 24.0.254.216 in both messages.  Good sign
of an attempted cover up.

Hope this helps :)

For what it's worth, Ian's right - this address traces back to
@home.com, and since cable modems are static IP addresses, this makes
the odds of it not being Nick very small.

I think it quite the homage paid to all involved that said person took the
extra time and sincere effort to purchase a thesaurus and run Spell-Check.
it reminds me of a story...

once upon a time there was a man who had grown an ill favor towards his
neighbor and decided to express his ire in person. He shouted his position
at the unaware neighbor, but to the surprise of the man it bore little
reaction. In frustration the man began to throw handfuls of dirt at his
neighbor hoping to soil his unaffected disposition. The neighbor did little
more than casually dodge the aggregate onslaught. Enraged that the object of
his anger remained untouched, the man got a shovel and began to lob heaps of
dirt, rocks, sod and root at his neighbor. This continued until at last,
spent and exhausted, bent over and panting at the bottom of a deep hole, the
man surrendered his folly. Climbing out of the hole, the man grumbled, "To
hell with you", and sauntered off, defeated. Reaching for his garden hose,
the neighbor called out to the man," Thank you for the pool, perhaps when it
is filled you would like to cool off!".

good night-     ;-]

After mostly lurking here for the last few months and reading nearly every
post here, I must say that these attacks are very uncalled for.  I can't
recall ever reading a reply from either Ken or Spider that was anything
other than honest and helpful.  Most of the ones I've seen from them have
been very positive of the images presented here.
Besides that, I don't think anyone who says things in such an inflammatory
manner can really be taken seriously when posting anonymously.

All I can say is that is a great piece of detective work.  Wish I had
thought of it first.  Also wish I had replied when I first saw it.  Oh well,
such is life that we must put up with this sort of behavior from those who
will not take the time to learn real skill.

He even tried if his changed name worked correct.
Two minutes before he posted here he tested it at binary.utilities.

Well Nicholas ... you are welcome here if you post you *OWN* work here
and if keep to a certain level of politeness even after the things
you've done here. If keep on going in the direction you do now you
better be careful! 

This all I have to say to this unpleasant story.

Oh like your the only one huh?:)

"Esteemed collection" may be too high a praise, however I have to agree
that this group is a fine gallery of works done with POV-Ray showing
many varied aspects. Better than cruising the web pages sometimes.
Come on, post some immature abstract stuff, everyone else does. Just

Not only Scott is into detective games:
Here is the output of nslookup:

216.254.0.24.in-addr.arpa  name=cx967847-a.crans1.ri.home.com
254.0.24.in-addr.arpa   nameserver = ns1.home.net
254.0.24.in-addr.arpa   nameserver = ns2.home.net
ns1.home.net    internet address = 24.0.0.27
ns2.home.net    internet address = 24.2.0.27

No hotmail around. Looks like his home :-)

It's in Cranston, RI. If you're up to it you even can get his address
and phone number. No use for that though. It's difficult to hide in the
net ... even for me! :-)

Dear WATCH MAKER, or whoever,

I rarely post images, I think it's been two in the last twelve
months.  I try to give compliments to every image, and make
suggestions as to improvements/possible further development of
the scene.

So you can probably lump me in with Spider and Ken, though they
produce far much work than myself, and their criticisms and
suggestions are from a viewpoint that has much more POV
experience and knowledge behind it than my own.

This group including Ken and Spider are also tolerant of people
who don't have a clue, and those people given this environment
grow as artists to become accomplished and esteemed individuals
within the group within a short period of time.

Cheers
Steve

Almost. To be nitpicking: It identifies a _machine_ on the Internet.
This is not necessarily the same as an individual. (Heard of multiuser
systems?)

I can't believe that each cable modem has its own IP address. I guess
they are shared in a somewhat dynamic way.

Even in Germany do the cable modems have a static IP address. This is
useful due 
to the fact that it is connected 24 hrs a day. You could also check
www.home.com if you want more information on that.

Hmmm, actually I am considering removing Nick from my filter-list again.

Between his "AWESOMME ROLLEX" thread and this case of
"if-I-cover-my-eyes-no-one-can-see-me-and-I-can-say-whatever-I-want,-right?"
I and my colleagues had a very good laugh! Although we are still wondering
about how a single person can be so, well, plain minded. :-)

The funny thing about this whole escapade is that I was thinking that I needed
an anonymous nickname to increase my credibility around here, to make me more
like Spider, Twyst, "Ken", Wykan, etc.

That'll work in Linux (I use Netscape in Linux), but I'm still not sure
about IE5 (I use it in Windows).

Yes, I know that.  I was trying to explain it to the person I sent the
reply to.  He claimed he was a new computer user.  So. . .

Yeah, they do.  The reason?  They're all connected 24/7.  That's the
problem.  Also, many people run servers and stuff on cable modems and
dynamic IPs would REALLY screw it up.  That's the reason for static IPs,
as I see it.

I've decided to follow ken - my name (my LAST name).
Now, about this guy, or in fact anyone who:
1. fakes pictures
2. fakes animations
3. opens his big mouth and talks nonsense about people who deserve
praise
and
4. keeps himself anonymous in fear and cowardice

i think that the following guidlines should be implemented:
We will retaliate, using our fiercest weopens. The forces of NATO will
not allow such behaivor and therefore @HOME will be bombed. Interferance
will be restrained, and resistance is futile.
