    " I feel they will correct their own course as they have shown the ability to do in the past."

    your kidding, right? this has nothing to do with the past, its the present, thats where we are at with this.

    as you and the family gather around the mailbox to sing battle hymn of the republic, id ask you to re-evaluate the scenario.

    sure 9 billion aint much, maybe you should just write a check right now! lotta laughs here

    "to see the big controversy about recycling vs throwing away the boxes...pretty interesting."

    just another ignorant idea by the post office, if you wanna know why they are about to go under, just look to the people in charge and some of the bright ideas they have.

    this is last yrs news

    Glass is the same? I feel tickling on my back side. Scott, you as an artist know that saying glass is glass isnt the same. "davis = jabo = matthews" It's not the same. For sake of the discussion making the materials, work area, kiln, etc the same it falls on the skills of the artist. Matthews is all precise symetry. Davis, Beetem, Seese etc. They all have different skills. Different looks. M!B$ is right that it can look mechanical but it still is what his followers expect of Matthews.

    all glass contains sand. AGREED ,the skills are different. as for precise symetry of matthews it is proven above, false. THESE may be close

    but to say one commands high prices for symetry is bullcocca

    When marbles are too precise, they lose some character, IMO. Symmetry is good, but when it's overdone it looks too mechanical. JMO, of course.

    what i was pointing out was the imperfection414527414_tp.jpg "Matthews is all about precision. Others have come close and can make a good copy but still not quite as good. " this is obviously clydes opinion, but the facts are NOT PRECISION

    for he same reason some folks buy Rolex

    a timex makes for a good wristwatch, all about personal pref? drive a caddy or drive a yugo?
