Ah, the joys of communication between MW and RHC members...

I know I don't post here anymore, and I don't want to "pick sides", but I think it is a little annoying someone would make such an accusation without having extensive background with Photoshop to be 100% sure. Of course everyone is entitled to criticize whoever/whatever they want, but its really only useful if that individual is an "expert" in that area.

Anyways, I saved the pics and emailed them to my mother who is a desktop publisher by trade (read: spends 10 hours daily using Adobe PS/illustrator, Quark etc) and at least could say from years of experience why or why not the pic is a "false product" or not.

I don't have anything against either of you, and I don't think they are faked, especially since (no offense J

) the launch isn't really anything incredible, but it will be interesting to hear exactly WHY, not just "no, they aren't", or "they look fishy".

In my opinion (since this thread is ripe with opinions

) if you're going to make a comment that potentially attacks one's honesty, I think its good practice to be highly knowledgable about that subject. Its kinda like me critiquing the construction of Josh's sub box just because I know how to use a hammer and nails...wouldn't that be irritating?
