[Woodcarver] Maricha, don't feel bad or stop contributing

i am sorry if i ofended any one with my question about need but i feel  
shattered. 

Hi Maricha,
       I am so sorry that you feel  shattered. We need people like you in the 
Digest. You have so much to offer. I  plead with you not to become just a 
lurker. Would you like my alligator skin to  wear for a while? Or, at least my 
wife accuses me of having one. 
       If we keep smashing people who write  in, we may end up with only 
inane remarks and folks asking us to look at their  carvings. It is o.k. to 
disagree with one another, but let's keep it out of the  personal area. It 
contributes nothing. Would you say the same thing to a person  if they were standing 
with you in a group-like in real live? I bet not. If you  wouldn't say it to 
their face, then why to you feel free to say it  here? 
    I see lots of things that annoy the h... out of me  on here, but as a 
group of 500 plus, I fully expect that such things will  continue.  Some threads 
go on much too long even though they may relate to  carving, etc. But as long 
as my scroll button and delete button works, I am  content to have the bad 
with the good.
    Again Maricha, as a long time admirer of your  work and contributer to 
this Digest, please don't stop talking. We would miss  too much.
    A Maricha admirer,
    Tom
