Response to Backstage

steve, it is obvious that you love a good fight. i can remember your "modus operandi" from other forums througout the usenet. and that's just fine. but the truth is you are simply wrong in your charges about the presence of a overwhelming tendency of this group to be self-congratulatory. it is only required that you conduct your own review of each photograph that has been submitted for critique to come to that objective conclusion. i personally found it ironic, and fittingly so, that the group responded to your naked lady pictures in a relatively negative fashion. certainly we made no group error regarding the "empresses'" clothing, or lack thereof. my own opinion is that you are correct that very few images yet displayed on this forum are worthy of inclusion in world class collections. this is not a group of famous professionals. instead, we are serious amateurs (for the most part) who hope to improve our work through its exposure to a serious assessment by our peers. some very good images have seen the light of day here, and the process will likely survive your sometimes petulant complaints. oh, i *still* say a couple of your nude shots were damn nice pieces of...erotica.
