I've known you long enough to know you work hard to keep ahead of the wolves and still you persevere to maintain this site.

I really respect you for it. My first post here was in response to Kirks arrogant diatribe on Jamey who I foolishly defended not knowing their history. Seeing these old threads dredged up just reminds me why I don't spend time posting here anymore.

I did try to share my perspective on some ideas and experience that were usually jealously disputed by you know who.
Unfortunate as I have gone the second mile to patch up old animosities only to get some really awful e-mails for my attempts.
Nobody wins and personally it disturbs me enough to 'just say NO'.

I really hope some closer comes to this thread.
There are posters I really respect and admire who contribute much to the enjoyment and understanding of beads and they aren't the two guys who think they 'know it all' and will argue till hell freezes over.

Good luck with your "Bead Names List". It would be a good thing to see people work together.

The way understand it - If you want respect then you give respect. Some people understand that - some never will.

You two have earned mine!
