... respect. We all have our opinions, fears, grouses, and second guesses. Folks are trying to make improvements; other folks see faults with them; others are resigned to giving them a try. The categories were not tossed into the ring casually; they were carefully thought and advised by those who know. Someone will always disagree. This forum, while global in outreach, is based in the US, where we embrace freedom of speech. Let's just welcome everyone's opinion. You can heed it if you believe it to be worthy, or file it if you feel it to be folly. But, please don't turn it into a ping-pong match of snipping and squabbling. It kills the flavor of the forum, for me anyway. Steve, we need a Beadscape just about now... Before we are sellers we should be collectors, and we should be trying to figure out how to be the best danged collectors we can be. It seems to me that Joyce has taken on a crusade to empower the public with knowledge. If she saves one middle aged housewife from spending her hard saved pin money on a fraudulent bead - isn't that worth her effort? I think it is. I'll probably be that housewife.
