and what exactly am i supposed to share to make you feel all warm and cozy? or what am i to share that baldricks yappers won't start a whole new diatribe about? suggestions...

I suggest you look up the definition of diatribe.

diatribe: archaic :  a prolonged discourse
discourse: archaic :  the capacity of orderly thought or procedure
and/or formal and orderly and usually extended expression of thought on a subject.

thought you would have picked up on this as you do seem somewhat well versed with words.

my bad.

And there was me thinking you meant it in a negative way, as in: a forceful and bitter verbal attack against someone or something."a diatribe against the Roman Catholic Church"
synonyms:   tirade, harangue, onslaught, attack, polemic, denunciation, broadside, fulmination"

But if you mean it in terms of a well thought-out discourse on a subject then I can only thank you for the compliment.

after a kiss its kind of weird

are you sure you still want brunch? 

hope you have already started, don't spit on it because there are cameras recording

I plussed you both, because thats funny 

I agree.  Really, it lightens things up a bit. I "think" I know they are both kidding but if not, to each his (or her) own. Not that there's anything wrong with it

The point was to get an accurate number.  The difference between 30 and 50% is pretty large, not that it's a good thing to be down at all.  I was asking because it has been a long time since I saw many people posting how they are doing on iStock, almost no one posts percentages or posts anything in the monthly sales thread anymore.

 
You claim you aren't an Istock admin. Honestly, I don't believe you aren't on the Getty payroll in some fashion.  They should at least compensate you for wear and tear on the knees of your trousers.

I've suspected this for quite some time....someone to come in here and counter the negativity directed toward iStock....and paid for doing so.

For the record, I haven't seen any uptick in sales since the massive price cut.

I must apologize in advance for breaking the rule against posting a link to another contributor's image. I've never done it before, and I hope I won't do it again.

But I just can't help myself this time. Because this is definitely the best (worst) example I've seen of what the "New" IS has become:
http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-27857042-the-letter-v.php?st=d354b8c

And if the image itself weren't bad enough, be sure to look at the amazing, incredible, unbelievable list of keywords.

 

Maybe it's a good thing new uploads are not showing in the searches!

I only see 12 correct keywords, must have been changed.

However, he is selling graffiti as non editorial, is that allowed?
