    Oh, no, please, cool it! If I were an ace professional fabricator, I
    could be bored to death by all the posts on casting and CAD/CAM. (And
    even if I'm not.) Likewise, those Orchidians who think "jewelry art"
    means carving wax could ask that there be a separate forum for all
    those soldering questions that seems to arise over and over (and
    over). And what about the manufacturers? Need I go on? 

    Plus, what are we talking about here? How many fabricators or wax
    carvers or even wire and/or PMC folks (those of us the next rung up
    from the bottom of that ladder?) string beads to accompany our other
    work? Will we no longer be able to post questions about those beads,
    or are we just not allowed to use the word "Delica"? 

    I recently looked at Leah's web site (michondesigns.com) and
    discovered that the "herringbone" beadwork technique can be done with
    wire, to great effect. What happens to cross-fertilization if we
    break up this community? 

No, please!
