    There ya go. Somebody wrote me off-list, and said that one
    installation lasted only one day, because janitorial thought it was
    the trash - now there's a statement. As I've said before, my comments
    here are not directed so much at jewelry specifically, but art in
    general, of which jewelry is a part. And I will confess that,
    although all that I've said is genuine and sincere, the thread needed
    some perking up - going back and forth about rejection is legitimate,
    but a real discussion about what it all means is much more fun.
