Dear Vance, It would seem that no jar of honey is complete without its blob of tar. Roman is just performing his appointed task as tar installer. I am sure that he doesn't really mean to hurt anyone's feelings. When he comes across as mean, nasty, disrespectful, illogical, idiotic, and impudent I am convinced that he is actually paying people compliments and they just don't know it. We all love each other on this list. It is all in fun.
Best Regards and Happy Easter, Marion -----Original Message----- From: Vance Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Mar 26, 2005 2:46 PM To: lute list <lute@cs.dartmouth.edu> Subject: Re: belly braces Roman, or an oil slick, so what's the point? Do you think I am ashamed of my work with bonsai? I am recognized in the field in more countries than one. There are probably more people that know and respect my work with bonsai than know and recognize your work with the Lute. You want to talk about bad Karma? For someone who always seems to be one for peace you certainly have an angry and mean spirit about you.
