She's not "my" lacemaker. Frankly, if you have nothing better to do than get 
bent out of shape over an Ebay ad and send snobbish emails to me, you need to 
get a life! Go make some lace or bother someone else, you pest!




The other day, I noticed a bit of lace on eBay  (330115668540)  which was 
described as "bobbin lace".  I politely wrote to the seller and explained that 
I was a lacemaker, and that it was clear to me that the lace they were offering 
was not hand-made, but was machine made.  In response, I received an email 
which quoted "a lacemaker" as saying that even though machine made laces are 
not handmade, they are still vintage.  OK, I have no problem with that, but 
when I responded that his/her lacemaker was not referring to bobbin-lace, s/he 
got ugly!!  I got the following email:  "She's not "my" lacemaker. Frankly, if 
you have nothing better to do than get bent out of shape over an Ebay ad and 
send snobbish emails to me, you need to get a life! Go make some lace or bother

Well, it seems that the sellers on eBay have waded out of a deeper end of the 
gene pool!!!  Beware!!  This seller, for sure, is not interested in the facts, 
and just wants to expoit the term, "bobbin lace". (So what else is new?)   I've 
reported him/her to eBay, for whatever good that will do.
