Hi All;

>     As to Hanuman censoring anything. For the amount of ridiculously 

    I know one thing Hanuman will censor, and that is a "flame war". And
    he'll have my blessing if he does. Let's see if we can keep this
    thread relevant to the topic. 

    Hey, while we're at it, here's my 2 cents (again) on David Yurman.
    He's a market phenomenon, and the people who buy his jewelry are less
    interested in progressive jewelry design than they are in brand
    recognition. They get what they pay dearly for. 

    There are five types of jewelry customer; 

    consumers
    conspicuous consumers
    connoisseurs
    collectors
    bobos (Bohemian Bourgeoisie)

    I like that last group, because they will spend a lot of money on a
    piece of fine jewelry based on its unique design, quality of
    materials and manufacture, and the je ne sais pas...call it "spirit"
    if you like.
