I find it rude when people ask how long it took me to complete a piece. It's unimportant information and doesn't add or take away from the piece.
I don't see whats rude about asking a simple question. There is no reason to get snarky. And considering you answered the question when it was asked in PPTMAC, which is a competition here on PPT, I do believe it is unfair for you to reaspond in such away here and now.
To you it is unimportant, but to others it is not, and that may be something you should remember.

As for your bit about judging, ever enter an art competition? Apply for a job? Go to college? The judges, employer and teacher could give a hoot less about how much of your life you spent on a piece. What matters to them is the outcome.
Actually, i'm going to quite a fine college at the moment, and i'm in my second year of my BFA. My profs do ask how long it's taken to do a certain piece of work. Time does matter to them. I've applied to both art competitions, jobs and as i've already mentioned, college.
Time does matter.
I've been to quite a few artistic interviews and in reviewing my portfolio I have been asked about time taken to do something in my portfolio. Ontop of this, time does matter if you're working on a piece that involves a deadline.
And I think thats the end of this argument.
Evisceration is a sign of respect.
