Geee thanks, way to blow off someones' efforts. If that is your attitude, I
rather you never click on any of my MOC posts.

Its too bad for you. You are missing so many things here it is not funny.
Sometimes it is the small things in life that carry the most surprise.
Its a shame you take so many people for granted.

Probably won't look at future Sophie-Mech's?
Your loss.
Only an idiot would continue to build and not evolve.
I struggle each time I build to make my Mecha differnt from eachother.
Each one is something the last one is not, or could not be.
Don't mistake style for a lack of originality.
Attention I get? I only get a small handfull of regulars that reply to my posts.
People whom I have come to enjoy. The majority of people just look and offer no
feedback. Issues like this chase them away. It really sucks. The view counts on
Brickshelf tell a whole different story.
Maybe one of these days I'll explain to you why I do what I do. Maybe gthen
you'll be more open minded. Or you'll just have to wait for my Documentry. It is
in progress.

Btw, You sir are so darned opinionated. I both respect that and find it annoying
as heck. Respect it, because you have an interesting head on your shoulders.
Annoying because, opinions are like ********'s everyone has one.
