Led,
You have a nice style of chops, and plenty of friends.
If you think your a better chopper than me, that is your prerogative.
I do not chop to be better than anyone on this site, nor feed my ego.
I chop because I have fun doing it, there are a few who think I'm better than themselves and I get a big kick from the opportunities that brings about when i can help them do
something in a chop that is new to them.
I love this community, I love chopping, I could care less about votes.
I have never taken pleasure in anyone voting for my image cause they like me.
Personally I think doing fast chops and still turning out nice images would be fun,
It's not what I do, but I have nothing against it.
As far as taking me on in a daily contest or even an H2H,
If you take the time to look,
you will see almost all the old-schoolers make a special effort to vote for your images, they don't vote for me no matter what I post- give me a thirty vote handicap
and I'll do it
hell. make that a fifty vote handicap.
That's a notable achievement"..good going! 
keep up the great chopping!
