That is huge compliment, thank you very much sir.

Thank you, I appreciate that

Well there is something to be said about speaking your mind and being true to oneself here, but fuck if I know what it is. They can do whatever they like mate and you are certainly free to tell them to go fuck themselves, if you feel like it. And I personally don't mind being part of elitist group, minding that would make me an elitist anyway so its sort of pointless catch 22 thing. As long as they are being honest about what they are doing, I'm fine with them. And I personally don't think they are being honest. My experience with those guys is pretty much the same across the board, the admins of such groups are mid-level artists who want to be perceived as high-level ones without putting the hours of grind to actually become one. Instead they "develop" their "eye" for quality (which is soooo fucking hard) and treat the group galleries - which are supposed to give artists more exposure - as their personal Favorites folders. More power to them if putting one or two personal works next to say a work of Matt Dixton, helps with their careers, but be honest about it, don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. That's what really gets me, and I don't wanna be associated with people like that.
