Bash, thanks for starting this thread. It's nice to show your appreciation for the work others do for the simple reason that others may use and enjoy them. You are learning a life lesson here, that even when you do something 100% well intentioned, others will see it as something entirely different. That's how life is, unfortunately, but you gotta roll with the punches. Most of us see your real intentions here, and you know your real intentions as well. That's all that matters. Don't stop being nice just becuase some others think your being a butt kisser.
And as far as some of the skinners I'd like to thank...
Tiggz, DanilloOc, Treetog... you guys got me started on this thing... your work is amazing...
Sleeping Dragon, you are the most respected person on this site, because you are ALWAYS true to yourself, regardless...
Brad and Jafo, thanks for helping me see the error of my ways a few months back...
Kenwas, Apoc_67, CausticFX and Xoroth.. thanks for 99% of the walls I use.
And of course there are HUNDREDS of others that are amazing skinners, and great folks! Don't think just because I didn't list you, that I don't appreciate you...
(there... was that pukey enough for all you downers?)
