Wayne, I didn't see anything that you said that could possibly have rubbed anyone the wrong way. Your beads looked beautiful & historical & exactly as you described them. For what it's worth, & I know you don't need to hear anymore on this, I certainly understand why that would be frustrating. I get upset when I search on Ebay & see so many items that are allowed to be sold under false pretenses. Anyone who knows you or sees your postings or photos of your collection is aware of your knowledge & integrity. Don't let the occasional person ever make you think otherwise! Just my 2 cents. Lynne
