Brad,
Just for the record. I didn't mean to demean anyone with my word choice. I suppose I have been a hermit plucking away at my project so long I didn't really think about how my love affair for words might sound to others. I do apologize if I may have offended anyone. I am part of the common rabble as well and what I meant was non-Cartographer Guild folks. : ) You're right in all your points. I came here because of the jaw-droppingly good mappers on this site. I really appreciate good feedback, both on and off the project, so thank you for showing me how my words may have affected others. BTW you have a way with words. I enjoyed your post.

P. S. I keep forgetting to mention my website is still under construction, so if you do take a gander, forgive the roughness of the site. That's the perfectionist in me speaking again. : )
