You are definitely someone that I think of when I talk art or speak about someone having a good eye-- you above anyone else (except Moon, strangely) are able to give me some critical evaluation of my stuff, and are willing to listen to me geek. I certainly don't place you into any of the above.
Still, I'm sure you understand when I say it's kind of like having your writing read by someone who loves books, and reads lots of books, but has never written something in their life. They are appreciative (and often know at least something about what they're discussing), but still lack the common experience. It doesn't make their opinion invalid, but . . . they just don't knwo the right parlance to explain what they see.
As far as ideas however, I'll be more than willing to bend your ear if I get the chance. Thank you.
