I hear you. Its funny how some people, who have NEVER posted a single image here, call me jealous. Please, grow up, its not kindergarten anymore. What some here are celebrating is misplaced bragging and fake humbleness. If that is what you want to do, shame on you. An idiot even tried to compare my Flickr views to the OP's.

I bet a LOT here think as I do but choose to not say anything to avoid the usual hypocritical and butt kissing bandwagon here. From time to time is healthy to shake the tree and see what comes down. I see here that a lot of shoes fell down....and found its users.
