    Now I am confused. Elaine keeps telling us that PMC's properties are
    exactly as cast silver and Jim's says they're not. Where the truth
    lies? According to Jim; PMC has notable inferior qualities since non
    of the PMC artists uses HIP..... 

    I am sorry to hear that Nanz lost her job at Art Jewelry over her
    comments on Orchid if she did speak the truth!
