naughty kids get no gifts.
and if the blather gets repeated twenty times twenty
we will all go crazy.
fresh ideas, fresh debate.
but, going over it over and over many times is silly.
one fresh idea would be a christmas miracle.

Oh that's right If we get stuck repeating the same things we're asking th=
e
wrong question.
It's like so many of our polarized "political debates" taht don't solve
anything but are job security for politicians and the media.
So whats the real question since it's not "What's handmade?"
"Why do we make things?"
How do different processes effect the meaning of what we do?"

I think the real question is, other than the handful that have continued
bickering about this, who really gives a big rat's ass? I really don't
believe it matters that much to the people bickering about it as much as
they just like bickering with each other regardless the subject. My items
are all truly handmade, but I don't use that in my description of them and
it wouldn't make them worth more if I did. There are some subjects in life
that are opinion based and this is one of them, just like your analogy of
the political debate. They are also opinion based and you had better be
damn proud that they are. At this time we can all have our own opinions,
which is a good thing.
