Hi Bart

It really was not my intention to make you look or feel like a jerk, as I do (contrary to what might have been interpretted from my last post) have the highest degree of respect for what you guys do here. I certainly do not think you are a jerk.

Although this might not be the appropriate place to get into this discussion, I feel like I need to clarify my previous comment as there seems to be some misunderstanding.

Perhaps "penalize" was not the right choice of words and a little harsh on my part, but just to be clear I felt like deleting the post would have been a "penalization" not your asking me to upload the assets as I agree that this is a perfectly reasonable request as many sites make asset uploading a prerequisite of the submission process along with preview images. The problem was that when I created the post I did feel that I had submitted the art. As it is effectively available to anybody that chooses to read the post. There are some sites that consider this form of submission acceptable for example a submission of this type would be acceptable on the Art and Design setcion at ubuntuforums, and uploading the actual assets would have been frowned apon by the mods who consider uploading images greater than thumbnail size for content that can be linked to externally to be somewhat rude. I have had a personal experience with such a situation. When I created the post I made the assumption that your site did not favour a particular submission policy for example like the above mentioned or a policy more akin to something like that of turbosquid's.

Although you had offered to set up the functionallity that I wanted and for this I am very grateful, the functionallity currently does not exist. Which means that the data that I am collecting, with the intent to create visualizations that I will eventaully present to end users, will be skewed and perhaps not as credable. I also realize that you guys are probably really busy and I did not want to apply any additional pressure on you so that the functionallity that I required is implemented sooner at the expense of causing unnecassary stress for yourself or other developers. So leaving the post as it was seemed to me (at that point in time) to be a simpler solution.

I'm grateful that you have chosen not to delete the post, and I hope I have not offended you further in my comments. I just felt that I needed to clarify my motivations and in doing so hopefuly you will see that I did not mean any disrespect or to be confrontational.
