Fred, I agree with you. Especially with handkraft information, there won't be 'references'. You can't reference what your grandmother or great-grandmother taught you. Same is true with fairytales or folklore. I'd like to post some of the Irish tales my grandmother taught me. I haven't seen them published. It would be a shame for them to die because some bonehead decided there should be a published 'reference'. Which means I won't be able to post what I know, what isn't in any of the hundreds of sewing books I own, from the 19th century til 2011. So, I'm rethinking my plans of eventual posting. I don't want to get caught in a shit storm. What I love is what I love, I don't want it spoiled by argument.
Plus Danese's article about the car wasn't self-published, so where's the catch?
