    Sorry Bob, I didn't mean to sound pissed. Just a bit frustrated. I'm not a fan of the sort of conversation that passes for discourse here and around the net, so filled with random anger and hate for complete strangers. Certainly not how I remember respectable adult professionals behaving in my day.

    I've promoted in many an internet forum. 99% are filled with very nice people behaving like adults, not children with a hate filled toy from which they can hide behind anonymously. QBN’s just got an incredible number of nasty people on it. And it doesn’t bode well for the industry.

    I suck? Gee thanks. Have you checked out my work? I've got 35 years of some pretty legitimate stuff from very high profile clients, I have taught senior thesis classes at one of the better design schools in Philadelphia. I've got personal notes from the president of AIGA loving my stuff. They don’t seem to think I suck, so I don't think that's the issue, but thanks for the suggestion.

    My reference was to the armies of wannabe, talentless designers who've brought down the pay scale both in-house and out, as well as lowered the bar of mediocrity in this once skilled profession to a record low.
