I don't have anything terribly original to add to 
what's been posted before, but I wanted to give 
some reassurance that having a gallery up will not 
_necessarily_ lead to any sort of annoyance.

I've had my gallery up for a bit more than a year 
now.  It's certainly not the most amazing gallery 
on the net by any means, but I think I do have some 
decent cels from fairly popular series.  I have 
announced it in all the usual places. 

In all this time, I've received maybe half a dozen 
polite emails inquiring about whether I would part 
with cels (and generally not the cels I would have 
expected, either!)  I've enjoyed talking to those 
people, and to everyone else who has written me 
with feedback.

I do find it takes quite a bit of effort to put up 
a gallery.  (And I ought to be keeping mine a bit 
more updated.)  :-)  However, I enjoy looking 
through other people's galleries, and hope I can 
give a bit of that enjoyment back.

P.S.--In a way, the primary design element in my 
gallery was one huge wishlist item.  My thanks to 
Richard Self of Anime Gambit for making my wish 
come true with the cel below!  :-)
