[TheForge] Peter Ross speech

[Chuck Robinson]

Hey folks,
I sent you the URL to read  the 1998  Peter Ross ABANA  key note speech 
about a month ago.

The only response was from Mike Graf.
Peter and I are puzzled by the lack of reaction and discussion by folks 
on the list.

I see topics like the volume of a light bulb  generating spirited 
debate, but the future course of blacksmithing seems of little or no 
concern.
The lack of response leads me to believe one of the following conclusions:
1. Everyone is in universal agreement.
2. No one gives a hoot.

At the last meeting of  The Gulf Coast Blacksmiths. we discussed the speech.
The old farts like me, were in general agreement, but many of the 
younger members seemed bored by it.
Chuck
