    I was in no way attacking you personally in fact I stated that your
    practices sound good. I also stated that my position on rhodium
    plating is a belief not a fact and I will again say to each his own.

    I am not sure how you think this relates to me? Are you trying to
    say that if someone else makes a product that is poorly crafted that
    somehow my work is poorly crafted? And what does that have to do
    with rhodium plating?
