Very true! I know my photo quality is not all that great either, but I am
slowly improving there too.

Ahh yes. I actually based my early stuff off Ron&Randy Perovich, was
GREATLY influenced by Mark Sandlin and Mladen Pejic's older stuff. I even
currently gather ideas on how to do certain things for b-tech from Burkhard
Schloemer. My 'personal' flait is more in my custom mechs, or mecha styles.
Thanks much for the Sidebar, btw, it helps give recognition to some people
who get 'buried' under posts. Plus it is cool to see your model in lights :<D

Exactly. It helps to do something I am supposed to in critiquing other
people's papers in school: Find something good to comment on first, maybe
two things or more. Then say what could be fixed/xhnaged/don't like whatever.

I am sorry if I worded that wrong. I by no means expect replies to all my
posts, and I know you are busy here and at BZpower, so least of all did I
expect you! Keep up the great work with the sidebar, again, it is cool.
Also, how might we get back the MotW feature?
