[TheForge] Reproductions, was PLEASE! Stop the Stupid comments

You're absolutely correct, there are reasons other than those I mentioned.
My comments weren't meant to be the only reasons (just two extreme reasons, and
one somewhere in the middle).

I understood the question wasn't "Why should someone use modern techniques?",
but rather "Why would anyone shun modern techniques?".
While you've provided another reason for the former, I was attempting to give a
reasonable answer to the latter.

I have to disagree that the only reason for doing a piece non-traditionally
is to make as much money as possible. I do the work I do with the skills I
have so as to produce the best piece possible. If I make more money, so be
it. If I make less than a traditional smith, so be it. The goal is to
produce the best product I am capable of using whatever techniques I have
available to me.
