well....i personally would rather be in a room with 3 people that care about and are passionate .....for what this site represents and all it has given back, than to be in a room full of hundreds of people that are in it for the moment or "style" of it.

I come to this site because it has introduced me to people i would have never had the chance to meet otherwise. I have been exposed to art i wouldn't have bumped into on my own...i have learned from great carvers and novices alike.....when you post something here you expose yourself to criticism and honest feedback from total strangers.....even if you hate what they say.....negative feedback or at least honest feedback seen as negative is helpful in bettering yourself in the artistic growth.

i personally think face book is evil! look what mayhem its causes....do people really think they have 325 friends? honestly? my friends know who they are because i give a crap and TALK to them. would all 325 of those friends help you pull your car out of a ditch cuz ya had too much to drink and help you hide your car???? HELL NO! your true friends would. your face books friends would REMOVE you from their friend list if they found out you crashed your car......

I'm the only person left that refuses to join the face book herd.......as for this sites dropping attendance?

keep shaking the tree because only the loose nuts will fall from it. and those are the seeds that DON'T grow! (learned that from an old farmer actually)
