Hi Lee,

    I very much enjoyed your post on this subject in the Jan. 29 digest
    - it summed up so many of the same sentiments I hold and did so in
    such eloquent language that I think I may have to print it out and
    tack it to my studio wall.   Go on wit' your bad self! 

    I'm especially in your camp where the "challenging wearability"
    stuff is concerned.   It has _so_ been done, and while it may have
    once been exciting and clever, that time is long gone and now it's
    trite and stupid.   I can't say how many times I've put a copy of
    Metalsmith back on the newsstand because I have been disgusted at
    the sight of some geegaw with three-foot spikes all over it being
    called a "ring" because you might, at the risk of serious injury, be
    able to stick a finger into it. 

    I might have said "Karmann Ghia" instead of "Corvette," though   ;-) 

Rock on,
Jessee Smith
