Good observations. This list is unique in that. I've never
encountered anything else like it on the web. There is a culture
here with a humbleness and lack of superiority over one or
another. I did feel comfortable enough to reveal my own
self-perceived disappointments and weaknesses.

He's a tough act to follow. I doubt my work will be held in as
high regard hundreds of years from now. It seems that about
once a century somebody comes along with a unique mental-wiring
that allows them to see and perceive things in another
dimension. Michangelo was the Einstein of the art world.

By no means was I digging for complements and praise. But I do
highly appreciate it.

Maybe a new lens will help. :)
