Okay,
This is it for me. I'm nonplussed. For those wishing to read what was
actually said and not what was got up in the moist recesses of
someone's imagination, please go to these postings. Unless I screwed
up they are John's and Ron's reply to the very first appearance of
this issue. I think it was Allisa that started this ball rolling. And
me? I'm the stupid sisyphus.

You will need to log in to view the postings.
Tell me if I'm wrong and why, please: Three issues are at play here --
1) the proper attribution of a glaze source when one publishes said
glaze, 2) the free and fair use of glaze recipes among and between
potters of all stripes, and 3) the posting on ClayArt of glaze recipes
published in MC6G.
My interest in this latest dust up is only with item 1. I'm not
interested in item 2 as I don't ask people for glazes, and I can't
imagine caring less about item 3 (but it's possible I guess).
How can we expect to be taken seriously, be thought of as anything
other than clay hacks, when we play fast and loose with the work of
other potters? Certainly there is a substantive difference between a
professional exchange, be it face to face or in print, and an informal
exchange between two or more persons.
Am I mistaken here? Am I going crazy?

I think that is the point folks have been trying to make. The glaze
in question was originally published in Ian's book, but someone else
wants attribution in CM from their reuse in their book.
Let's just drop the subject.
