EXACTLY THIS. Networking is about making friends, to have friends. Not about pitching and angling and flitting between "the hot groups" in search of work. If you are in it just to do that everyone will notice, and everyone will stay away from you.

If I have to tell people 1 more time to credit the illustrator when talking about a graphic novel...STOP only tagging me when you talk about Frizzy!! I didn't fart the illustrations out, they didn't materialize magically! A very hardworking person is behind that art & Rose deserves acknowledgement!!
