Friday Q&A

Questionable Disintegration

Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome back to another edition of the Friday Q&A. Odds are pretty good that I'm glad you're here. I started the Picture Clinic a few years ago, as a bastion of free speech for those who agree with me. Unlike a lot of bloggers, who tend to be cretinous dick brains with little regard for the English language, I distinctly remember spell-checking at least two of my posts.

Q: Are you worried about your Photoshop legacy?

A: Such sentiments have become popular in the wake of the Scrutinizer's demise. It would seem that the vote averages we worked so hard to cultivate have been obliterated by a simple change in web code. What's worse, future generations of 'shoppers won't know who we are, or that they suck. On the upside, those same future generations will be mercifully spared the humiliation of comparing their work to mine.

Q: Why do you care what anyone thinks?

A: Not to put too fine a point on it, but I don't. In my own mind, I'm already the greatest Photoshopper Fark has ever seen in the world of the universe. There's no need for a website to confirm this fact, any more than there is for a site that focuses on my good standards of personal hygiene and generally inoffensive odor. Why bother setting up a series of statistical calculations to substantiate what I already know to be true?

Q: Then why do you care if the Scrutinizer goes offline?

A: Fark needs a Scrutinizer, and losing Mr Squirrel's site has been a real blow to this community. I miss the feeling of superiority I get from comparing another person's work to my own. It will be a relief when the new archive site is finished, assuming that ever happens. I'm more than ready to put the current Photoshop Dark Ages behind us.

That's all for this time, gentle reader. Thanks again for stopping by. Without a Scrutinizer to keep track of the stats, I've been forced to do my own analysis. After a series of intensive calculations, I've determined my average to be at least 500 votes per entry.

Stay tuned for more questionable accounting from the Doctor!
