    Yeah, well, I find it kind of irritating too, and I have a lot of
    respect for you, Richard, but all I can say about it is GET OVER IT!
    The public is never going to really "get" what we do and how
    difficult it is, so we might as well just relax and try to have a
    good time at it and, while we are at it, make some money. You are one
    of the first people who responded to my first post on Orchid (it was
    about my cat), and I have always listened carefully to your posts
    since that time, so believe me when I say that this is meant in the
    best of spirits. Please don't irritate yourself over what people
    think. One of my favorite sayings is "What other people think of me
    is none of my business."! Keep up the good work in your fine shop,
    and let the chips fall where they may! 

Best to you,
