It has no professional application at all. For amatuers like Richard Letaw it's revolutionary like the tv dinner was in the 70's - which is now considered awful by the majority, once they got over the novelty of it and went back to real food..


Another member had just been admonished against using foul language, so I just responded by calling him a loud-mouthed jerk (which he Liked).


I think it is out of line to attack people who don't see things the way you do... and that's what this guy did to you. But it's pretty common, especially in computer forums where there is a sense of anonymity, and most people find it easy to be rude.

There is some truth to the reasoning that an approach which is perfectly acceptable to amateurs and hobbyists might not be the direction someone who considers himself an artist would want to go. Having said that, I think that this guy (and a lot of people like him) is naive to think that professionals don't avail themselves to technology-based solutions. So he limits his ability to compete in a world that is already permeated with near perfect tech-enhanced performances, and the new expectation is for all performances to be that perfect.

So he hasn't hurt you at all. His narrow-mindedness mostly affects him.
