Can I assume we will never get the 3rd professional evaluation of the action Walex was raising **** about? I know Jack dropped out of sight or whatever, but shouldn't he be able to get the eval to someone for posting here?

I feel we have 2 very qualified people doing the evaluation and a third is unnecessary. It would have been nice if Jack responded but he didn't. I have a great deal of faith in Bill Leeper's expertixe and Tom Burgess is legendary and if there were a hall of fame of metalsmiths he would have been in it a long time ago.

I don't need any more information than I already have and think the exercise in obtaining another is a waste of time. But if the powers that be are into that, I would suggest John Ricks.

Dude, Give it a rest. Why don't you travel up to Buhl and ask Jack yourself?

What Chic said is true. Jack's initial eval was very positive and what Mr. Burgess and Mr. Leeper had to say has pretty much already settled the issue. MRC has taken steps to correct this issue so in my mind it is a done deal.

Go cry elsewhere.

Zach, dude Like, I don't think he was whining. When all this flared up the three were going to look at it and post a evaluation. I'm sure he isn't the only person curious about this, asking the question shouldn't be interpretted as meaning the other two evaulations were lacking, only that Jbelk is fun to read and many enjoy his posts and looked forward to this as well. Maybe you should hang around a bit before telling others to cry elsewhere.

Jack has computer problems, last I heard.You could see him or call him.Ed.

As far as evals go I just want to say that Mr. Burgess' is simply amazing. I have had him send me a couple of breakdowns on problems I was having, and how to troublshoot them. I can't believe how thorough he is and how many fine details of a thing run through his mind.
