See I have been struggling with this, with music, with art. Who is it  
for? There are things that can be good enough for you but not for  
others, and things that are good enough for others but not for you.  
What is the divide? it is all just a compromise? One can say rely on  
yourself as the prime audience, but that can be just as hard. As well  
as there are many documented cases of artists working in to much of a  
closed environment and not able to judge their work properly.
