    Yep confirms my overall impression that internet sellers as a group
    have a much higher standard than many to most B&M stores I have seen.
    Nothing like having to tell your customers to go get ideas from other
    people for anything that they can't just order from Stuller. No
    wonder almost all B&M jewelry looks the same as the junk in the
    malls.
