Very good point Charly. I guess everyone has there own form of what respect means to themselves and others. From a purely business prespective, money is king. From a creative prespective, it's mean nothing. Greatness & success, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Some weight on money others in creation.

I meet loads of better photographers than me all the time. Can they sell a single picture, can they earn a living from photography, will anyone ever publish there work? No they are just not "commercial" to innovative, new, creative.

Funny you mention that, one of the best graphic designers i've ever met can't do a simple layout for the web. But when he's told what to do, his work is far superior to anything i've ever seen. hehe..

Our stuff sells again and again, because I'm a businessmen making a product that sells. For that I get respect, even from those that who do not like me.
That is the gauge in the commercial world and this is what GFY is for "Business"

I never once doubted that this wasn't the gauge to which most live by in business. And that's perfectly fine. I just find it static..does neither harm nor good. In opinion, it's the backend that matters.
