One man's trash is another man's treasure, and what I like, you may not, and vice versa (gotta love the run-on sentence :D) Unasked-for criticism is rude and stupid. Believe it or not, not everyone wants to know what you think, or considers your opinion as important as you do. This wasn't meant to pick on anyone. Just my philosophy on it. (Obviously this only applies to a person's craftsmanship, and their attempts to honestly add to the hobby we all love...politics in the off-topic is a totally different manner :D). Good things should be shouted from the mountaintop...negative things should be handled quietly.
