The idea behind usenet, as far as I understand, is for people to exchange ideas, techniques, etc, so each can learn from the experience / talents of others. The critic seemed to suggest that some arbitrary standard of proficiency needs to be attained prior to exhibiting ones work, yet displayed a woeful disregard for certain accepted linguistic standards. If others need meet his idea of graphic excellence in order to be welcomed, then perhaps he needs to live up to the standards others like for ease of understanding. "What's good for the goose, ..." Take Care, Dudley
