So I make no apology for my attempts to compliment and encourage these artists. I personally lack the knowledge and expertise to offer the team any relevant data. But, like many in the silent majority, I can offer them a little encouragement from time to time. I'll keep doing this until Oleg tells me to shut up.

I really didn't want to get "sucked into" this whole topic...
But its obvious that most of the people here have absolutely NO IDEA about the proper way to communicate their criticism of an ongoing creative project.
I have been a working musician and an artist...and I have collaborated with many brilliant artists...and I can tell you, "for a fact", that insulting, marginalizing, or speaking presumptively (the presumption being that Oleg finds all this bickering educational) with the artist, IS NOT, the way to communicate your thoughts.
I'm gonna "tap out" now (lol)....
P.S. Old_Canuck...I'm not really commenting on your statement as much as I'm communicating my thoughts after reading your thoughts. I hope that is ok.
