I am content also to agree with you, dear friend. I must admit that my post had a tint of polemics: I grew up in a town that is one of the siege of the fine art. I am satisfied of the small ripple in the pond that my little rock has caused.
PS numbers covered in scripty ornaments tend to give a kitschy impression indeed.

Coming back to Ea's parallel with beautiful women make up (maybe my main hobby, not the make up of course), I imagine one of our Southern beauties, with her rich hormonal flow, with un-plucked brows, It might add a kinky touch to her looks, but in this case, the absence of make up would be definitely noticeable. See my reply below.
