I lurk on this list because I learn with every note I  read. The past few 
days with discussion of tool making, economics and sales  has been especially 
interesting.
I'm sorry several people feel  overwhelmed by the volume of traffic and have 
asked to be dropped, but  (speaking only for myself) please continue with 
teaching, discussing and  joking with each other. Perhaps in time I'll become a 
good enough carver to  contribute to the discussion.


Thanks,

Hi Wayne, you are "good enough" to start contributing now and I am  glad you 
are getting something from our banter. I urge you to jump in now  and then. I 
started "bothering these fine people from the first day I  joined the list. It 
is the beginners who actually ask the questions that  spark the most 
interest.  Sometimes the more experienced of us forget the  basics that need to be 
learned, things that we do automatically and no longer  think about.  I started 
out 7 years ago and I can not tell you the amount  of knowledge that I now 
possess and it is primarily due to what I learned on  this list and others.  It is 
also wonderful to have made so many great  friends, some who I have even met 
in person and spoken to by phone.   Someone once referred to my computer 
carving friends as "my imaginary friends"  but I can assure you, everyone is very 
real and on top of that, the friends I  have made through woodcarving are just 
the best bunch of people I have ever  met.  We can always use another friend, 
so consider yourself one of the  family and jump right in.
