[TPIN] Anonymous credibility

[Boozo Destructo]

So let me get this straight....the fact that you may have never heard of
something is the determining factor as to whether of not their work has any
merit?

So with that in mind, when walking through an art gallery do you have to
research each artist's credentials and experience before you can make a
judgment as to whether you like their painting or not? And (gawd forbid)
what if the painting wasn't signed?

That's just crazy-talk...
