Dolita, and anyone else,
as I said to mel yesterday, it can occasionally be hard to read one's
intentions across the miles of cable... I usually trust that people
are all o.k., but there are more than a few instances in the recent
past here on clayart that I have seen, where people have gotten a bit
nasty, often in an underhanded condescending kind of way, which
really is unproductive to any dialogue. Mel, I am sorry for my
misunderstanding. I will be less quick to jump to conclusions in the
future. or at the very least less quick to type my conclusions out
and press send ;)

Let your penances be a gaudy bud vase to Mel and a formidable kiln god
to Tony. Oh yeah, and 20 Pater Leach's. Hummmmmmmmmmmm

I think If I work hard enough, I could come up with something worse
than that...
