shan Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Posted November 10, 2008 Hi All, Piers,To be Honest the reading of this post title is completely subjective. If you read desparation thats..your reading of it and not my intention.I am not desparate just researching and needed some aid. I noted that by voicing your reading/interpretation of the title ,you immediatly get a "the thread topic does sound like an urgent call come to think of it" (sorry Milt to use you like this)and thats exactly what i am talking about,the suggestion created a responce that is not totaly correct,its an interpretation of the information supplied that has been sugested to another. This is exactly what i am talking about,a missinterpretation of a written word is a very easy thing to do as you have no verbal context and no verbal intonation.How easy it is to misread the line thats written..... Specifically,It was a "more heads are better than one" request,Hence the "calling all nihonto collectors for assistance" Not the " help please in need urgent information,please ignore all other posts and respond to mine immediatly" that you have interpreted it as. ......Subjective views...again. By all means close it and lets leave it at that. I have far to much stuff to get too hung up on one item. My next Tsuba has just arrived and 2 blades and some lovely menuki and ...and ...and...... I also have some useful knowledge and i understand a little more that i am given credit for.Don`t write me off yet....I may just surprise you one day. regards Shan
Brian Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Shan, I know you have some good info and items, that's why I suggested we write this one off as a lesson, all relax now, and get back to good stuff again. We all have these days, and the important thing is not to get too wrapped up in them, and let the water flow under that huge bridge again. This one is done and over, hope everyone can see past it. Lots of good stuff to share. Regards, Brian
