Hi Terrie,

    I wasn't trying at all to start an argument. Rather, I was
    responding to another Orchid member's posting, wondering why this
    material seems to stir up such strong feelings. I just reread my post
    and still don't see it as particularly negative towards PMC.  What I
    was--am-- saying is that I believe this material has not been
    exploited to any large extent for whatever  intrinsic qualities it
    has. 

    I hold no ill will towards those who use PMC, or cast, or laser
    weld, or use CAD/CAM, etc.  I am in no way a purist and love to find
    use and teach shortcuts and tricks when they are effective. I look
    forward to seeing new and interesting PMC work as it's turned out. As
    a teacher, I most enjoy seeing people excited by what they do,
    whether it's fimo, PMC, platinum, steel or lead. 

    I am sorry if my post was taken as argumentative or overly negative.
    That being said, I stand behind it. 

Take care,
Andy
