So if we take Helen's comments out of it and take away my four pet stalkers with grudges (m2, Rita, Noons, D-Mac), we are left with a pretty good sampling of mostly unbiased comments. Most of my photos have been commented on favorably by the masses. I'm happy with that. But regardless of the comments I'll keep posting photos for as long as I feel like sharing them.

The slime ball downloaded it, lightened the manger scene area, then he put it on *his* web page as his own work. When I called him on it, he got abusive. A few days later he must have gotten sick of the bad publicity and he took it down. If I hadn't said anything in these groups, he'd still be claiming it as his own. I hate thieves. mike

But if some people are not competent to imitate, then jealousy moves to the top of their list. As far as plagiarism goes, if any Australian posts a picture of an Eastern Bluebird, I'll know it's an outright theft. Keep up the good work. Allen

While I agree that I am given lotsa grief over my endless praise of your work, I feel I have to say that my comments are always unbiased and honest. Helen |
