I must declare that I received their letter and liked that very much. I still do not agree with many of their points and dislike many new features, but their activity really gives some hope.

The following is a part of my answer for their letter, which I've just started to write:

Dear AW team, thank you for your answer and explanations.

First I must beg your pardon for my usual impatience - in one of AW discussions I already wrote that I had no reaction from you for my letter. Being acustomed to the former AW staff inactivity, I didn't expect your answer. Now I have to declare in the same discussion that I received a very good, detailed answer. I still can not fully agree with you for every point, but it doesn't matter. It is normal when someone dislikes what you like and vice versa. Apart of my likes and dislikes, which seem important for me, there is a more reiiable criteria for.AW effectiveness. I mean commercial and financial results. I understand only too well that from this point of view your likes and dislikes are much more important then mine You spend your time and risk your money, hoping for AW success and thus you can and should do whatever you like. It is you, not me who is responsible for the results of your own efforts, weather you like it or not. As for me AW is not my business and I am not even a professional artist, so I can only wish you a good luck, which I do.

PORTFOLIO I should admit that I have become very irresponcible and lazy lately. I am so lazy that I have not downloaded a spelling checher to my computer yet as you advised. Being so lazy, I suspected that you left some tools alowing to reorganize portfolios, but did nothing to find out and learn those tools. Once I had put my portfolio as I liked in the old AW version and didn't want to make it once more. I left my new portfolio as you initially made that for me and only wrote in that discussion that I did not like that... Sorry again, I was wrong in that too... After your letter and explanations I made some changes at last. i put my avatar to its proper place and applied 4 images in a row order. And still I can not command order of images in my portfolio as I could in the old AW version. Every new image always goes to position 0 only, and you can not change its position until you upload one more image. After that the previous image goes to position 1 (not any other). Thus I can not change the order of images. You wrote that I was the only one, who wanted to command order of images in portfolio. May be so, but I am accustomed to have similar options practically on all web sites, where I show my art. Many sites also offer to create separate galleries forimages of different subjects, mediums, etc. As I understood from your letter, you decided to leave something like that to premium members only, and you offer me a premium membership. I appreciate your offer but NO. I like to show my art all over the world, I sell some art in the real world and sometimes (very seldom) on line. And still sales are not a compulsory part of my imcome, I mostly appreciate them as signs of popularity of my art. That's why I prefer to show my art free of charge and many art sites allow me to do so. Thus I will not change my decision now to use my AW portfolio for images of one kind only, as far they will be female portraits of all kinds. ... Farther I am going to explain some other of my opinions and make some more suggestions for AW improvement...
