I have heard privately from a number of long time members of Beadcollector.net who seldom wish to post on BCN because: "They receive little to no acknowledgment."

It takes half of an hour and up to two hours to make, edit, size and post a number of pictures of beads, places and people -even if it is borrowed like my China Bead Fair post.

So everyone:
Please post appreciation to those few who are still willing to go to the trouble. It's easy for you - and means so much to them.
