    Judy, Ron and all.  Let me vote FOR a guide as soon as, and in
    whatever form possible.  A brief brochure could be made available to
    give students, customers and the craftsmen themselves, giving the
    website address, or the publisher's information.  It is all well and
    good to learn a craft through self-taught trial and error, but to
    spend good money as a consumer purchasing junk over and over just
    makes enemies for the trade.  Ron's brief about the faults of
    various chains, for example, is worth a lot of money to all of us. 
    That information, otherwise, is only obtained through long
    experience and expense.  If we Orchidians are truly interested in
    educating and improving the craft and business of jewelry, I say
    let's go for it where it will do the most good.
