- Well, there's always listening to people saying "Hey! That's a direct
- rip-off of a Boris painting!" and the like... Admittedly, a few might slip
- through somehow. But if one artist got disqualified because he ripped off,
- say, a Roger Dean picture, you know he's going to point out any OTHER
- artists who are ALSO ripping off Dean...

- Well, i can't speak for all artists, but: I'm an artist. I've been one for
- quite some time. When HAM paint programs came out, i played with them. I
- have DPaint 4. I never use HAM. In my opinion, it's only suited for
- CALCULATED pictures such as ray-traced stuff, not for something that you're
- going to sit down with and lay down every pixel yourself. I like to have
- pixel-level control over color, and no HAM paint program does that.
