Hi Jacob -
Don't feel bad that you made that post.  Its not your problem if people >got

Hmmm....Tim, you are missing the point. Opinions are fine. I have no problem
with posting opinions either, but to post it here isn't appropriate.
Remember, we're not talking about a simple opinion here, we're talking about
a defining list of mecha creations where no criteria has been set forth to
judge his 'opinion' by.

I honestly do not see what is wrong with posting a list of personal
favorites to a group and thus sharing that list of favorites with others and
inviting them to discuss their favorites as well.

I would encourage you to dismiss the egos that get ticked if they aren't
mentioned among the favorites.  The hobby is about building for me, not
praise for my models.  I'm perfectly content to build MOCs on my own >and not
post them because of the hassle of going public with it for that reason.

To which ego are you referring? Not mine, I hope. I care about praise about
as much as I care what color tie Larry King wears on a daily basis.

No, not yours, Dave.  I'd rather not name names publicly, but email me
privately if you really want me to share my thoughts with you.

(...) We aren't upset at you for this, Jacob. We respect that you have such a list....I have one as well. I choose to post mine on my website rather than leave it out in the open (as you have done) for everyone to scrutinize. (...) I can't disagree (...)
