You're entitled to like the last quarter, the first quarter, all of them, or none of them. But after reading your comment, I went to 81 and started going backwards - and I can't for the life of me understand your comment. Again, that doesn't mean I think that you have to like them - I can see how some people wouldn't like most of them. But I don't see a difference in how the people are or aren't relating to the camera. As to having to work with and satisfy 18 people - I don't; I have one customer - that's how it works. I really don't care if all 17 others hate what I did, as long as that one gets what she thought she was getting and is satisfied. And I don't "work with them;" I'm just there. There's nothing to chill about - I responded as I did not because I was - or am - upset, annoyed, peeved, worked up, hurt, or made itchy. I just didn't understand the comment. :-) B. D.
