Hi everyone!

    This is my first official question. One of my clients asked me if
    gold-filled is the same as gold-plated and since gold-plated
    eventually turns green, will gold-filled do the same? 

    BTW, I'm a newcomer to Orchid and I have been reading everyones Q's
    and A's over the past month and have learned a great deal. 

    Thanks to Karen Lechner for encouraging me to become a member,
    praising the virtues of the Orchid on-line community and of course
    the fantastic raffle, which she won first prize last year. I did
    purchase a raffle ticket thinking that I might win through
    association ;)...no such luck. There's always next year ! 

Thanks!
