I hear people talk about being a RIVET COUNTER as being a bad thing. I would say that if the definition of the phrase includes the necessity of being judgmental about the work of others, then yes, it is bad to be a RIVET COUNTER! After all, who died and left you in charge!?! If you use the term to judge your own work and use it as a method of attempting to do a better job on the next project you are working on, then it is a good thing! I love to build models which are as realistic as I can make them, and I enjoy looking at the work of others, attempting to do the same thing. <br /> <br />The only time one should be judgmental about the work of others is when asked to judge their work! Then, when doing so, one needs to be very sensitive about how the judging is done and what is expressed to the one asking to have their work judged. <br /> <br />Some people are incapable of any sensitivity of any kind and should never be placed in a position to judge the work of others. They see things only from their own myopic point of view and believe the world is just waiting for their splendiforious words of wisdom! These are the RIVET COUNTERS which give the term it's bad connotation! What type of RIVET COUNTER are you?
