[quote]QUOTE: Ditto's to the above. Maybe Coyote should apply for the editor position, but then he would have to move to cold Milwaukee. Great introspect of the hobby. And I agree with others, many look at us like we are men still longing for a childhood, but I feel we are taking the scenes, operations, modeling to a level that many can't or won't do because of a preconcived notion that they can't or would be embarassed to try. It's funny. I mention I have a model railroad to friends or when I was running a business my hobby, and I was amazed at the response from the male population. They also liked trains, had one or always wanted too. Hmmm, I would bet this hobby would be larger, if we only could find the key to unlock and bring them all in. Thanks again Coyote. Keep the ideas coming... [/quote] Milwaukee... brrrrr.. oh no let me keep my Texas warmth, although it often becomes Texas melting [8D] I think that some people see or Hobby/Art in that light because of the assocation they make with toys, yet what is the probelm with toys and play, we can dress it up however we like but at a certain level they are toys (ahh I can hear the gnashing of teeth now, sorry friends really), however what is Theater but 'play pretending', dance is.. well dance [:)] people tell my Mother who has had quilt exibited in a collection at the Smithsonian that she is "just sewing". Someone somewhere is always going to find a snippy perspective on the insperation, love, craft and hard work of others.... Water off a ducks back is my moto. I do agree though it would be a fine day if we could find the key that opens the door of 'allowance' that would let so many who'd love to join in the Hobby/Art but don't currently because of some silly fear of the judgements of others. But then I fear it is the same for all expresive matters, I know far too many people who have fine voices who would never sing anywhere but the showers (glances at his own OL). Thanks for the feedback Peace. Coyote
