Thank you for contributing as you did, Walter. I agree 100% that if an activity isn't worthwhile, if it is not enjoyable, rewarding or personally meaningful, then it isn't worth doing, particularly if it presents any danger to your reputation.

I do recall reading disparaging comments on other forums with respect to ATM on two occasions. I don't know if the comments were rooted in misunderstanding, jealousy or ignorance, but I think it was mainly the last. It is difficult for many to approach this art from the perspective of a professional, and a tendency on the part of some hobbyists to confuse critique with criticism.

I apologize for not having the means to moderate submissions to the ATM forum as probably would have been appropriate.

Many thanks,

Matt
