Not always true. Sometimes just posting is enough if the model is stunning
enough. That seems
to be the key. Also, I've noticed that when the picture quality is bad, very
few posts are made
about an otherwise fantastic model.

I'll agree with you here, but I'd like to point out that emulating others'
styles as a test run to
improve your own style also has it's advantages. I started learning mecha
from Colin Gutierrez
and Karim Nassar and it took quite a while before I found my own style. That
style is always
evolving, always learning from others, always in flux. That's also why I
don't post as much as I
used to-I'm too busy pushing the envelope with building to post most times.
My form of posting
takes the form of working on the sidebar and offering up new resources to
all the builders rather
than critiquing one.

This is something we're all striving to fix without alienating most of the
builders. I'd love to come
right out and tell someone their creation is severely lacking, but I won't
show a lack of decorum
here at Lugnet because I want to encourage rather than discourage and far
too many builders
can't take criticism.

No guilt-just the reality that only so much can be done in the time I've got
available each day and
I'd rather spend that time helping many folks at once.

They do a fantastic job around here. I'm always happy to see them posting
and helping out
especially when I'm not around for a couple of days.
