My mistake for which I apologise. The initials were corrected by 
Shanaka Dias later.  

Actually all of your pictures I chose to post to illustrate my 
remarks carried no initials or name at all...you were not attaching 
them to your pictures at that time.

Drop that "being proud" attitude. Pride is not a good thing.

Being content that you have done your best is an infinitely better
philosophy to adopt, and I'm quite sure that you tried to do your 
best with those pictures.

Those early pictures of yours are probably every bit as good or 
better than many of my pictures, but that as not the point I was 
making at all.  

My point was that they all looked ( to me personally ) like the work 
of a 7 or 8 year old child rather than one of 13 years old. Some 
very young children indeed do some wonderful pictures in keeping 
with their age.

They are my personal opinions...if you see them as insults and 
choose to call them insults then you are fully entitled to do so.
It will not stop me giving my opinions.

Er...I think you probably mean "born earlier"?  Anyway it's 
irrelevant because no one can control their age and, in any case, 
age has nothing to do with inferiority has it?  Try to be thankful
someone gave you the gift of life...and try to use it well.

I could see nothing wrong with your pics that I posted. I simply 
gave my opinion that they looked, to me, like the work of a 7 or 8 
year old child...that does not make them inferior or bad. 

My posting was not a review of all your pictures. I was illustrating 
my opinion following your statement that you were 13 years of age...  
that was new news to me.  


Like I've said to you before...get your facts right instead of 
posting things which you continually have to make apologies or 
lameduck excuses for later. I make mistakes too but that does not
make your mistakes any better.


If you by chance are trying a "Casso-style insult ploy" here in 
these last 2 messages of yours, I would advise you not to use Casso 
as one of your role models however much you may agree with his 
attitudes and activities in this newsgroup. It is clear from his 
many postings that he has taken you under one of his tiny wings to 
protect you.  


BTW, my advice is worth every cent you pay for it!   *8-)
