Sorry, elizabeth, but your response sounds elitist and snobbish. When I
teach, I never berate my students for asking questions, however elementary
they may be."

Gee I thought Elizabeth was right on. I don't think one should head
directly to Clayart when you have a question. I try to go to the list when
I have exhausted my library, knowledgable friends, neighbours and my common
sense. A person can get overwhelmed by people wanting information,
recipes, plans etc, etc. It takes time, $$$$$, copying, mailing to people
that have no intention of ever doing anything. Many just like to collect
plans, recipes and whatever is free. My time is precious as is many of the
Clayarters. Oopss that sounds elitist, but it is how I make a living. This
a non paid teaching position. I think Elizabeth was merely saying treat
these peoples time respectfully.

Cheers,
Tony

I am feeling guilty for asking where do you get fleece lined jeans. BUT
I did get an amazing amount of responses. I just never even knew such
cushy things existed until Mel's post. I guess I could have done a
search. I do searches on just about anything and everything. That is how
I always plan my husband's travel lodging.
Anyway, I now know where to get fleeced lined jeans. That was not in the archives.
Best wishes,
marcia
