I just wanted to remind people that they can use my stock for just about anything. Especially if it's not going to be sold, I'm really lenient when it comes to people practicing retouching (colour changes, little stuff such as phone lines removed, partial desaturation etc).

• What I will NOT allow, however, is that you put the image into the Photography section!

The reason for that is simple: you didn't take the picture, so you can't put it up as though you did.

• This is NOT about you not being creative enough!

During the week, I work a lot - during weekends I try to be creative (see `kuschelirmel) and keep up with my messages. Please don't feel offended if I do not respond to yours - I read each one and I fave each piece using my stock.

No matter how much time I have or do not have available for this account though, I just wanted to write a few sentences about the kinds of messages I get here:

There are the wonderful ones, telling me my stock/brushes/tutorial/... were useful. I wanted to thank you for those again here, they make my days shine

The ones telling me about stock used, that send me to wonderous places, directly from your minds - they are a special kind of compliment, for what would a stock account be without people who use the resources?

And then there's the ones who are just commenting here to demand one thing or other as if I were only here to do their bidding or waiting anxiously for someone to ask me things I have explained what feels like a million times over: "make frame and border brushes" (that's an actual comment I got), "Tell me how to create CSS" (nevermind my tutorials, who needs to read anyway?), "Can you translate this to German?" (Yes, it's my first language, but no,if I had wanted to I would've already, don't you think?), "How do I install this?!" (Read the artist's comment, will you?!) and even "I downloaded a template somewhere and now I don't know how to use it - can you help?" (erm, what?)... These kinds of comments will usually prompt me to sigh and respond according to the tone used. Sometimes (for example if the question is answered in the tutorial the comment was on or in the artist's comment) it will be ignored. I do not ignore questions out of spite, but if someone won't read what's in front of them already, it seems pointless to write another sermon about it.

So the point here is: Thank you to those who have manners and talk to me like I were a person (oh my gosh) instead of seeing thisaccount as a free-for-all buffet with me as their buttler, standing in the shadows waiting for someone to blink so I can rush in and save their days... even if it's just by handing them a napkin
