<VV> Wall Hangings and web postings

[Jay Pitchford]

James,

While I appreciate your willingness to challenge us, I also sense from your
reply that you are getting tired of ideas without someone 'stepping
up'. Well, I can't step up in the way you deem appropriate. Those that can,
do. Those than can't should put their money where their mouth is. I am
willing to help fund the effort to get this done, but with two school-age
children and a 50-60 hour per week career, what I don't have is the time to
form a committee and spearhead the effort. If put-up-or-shut-up are the
rules of the road, I'll keep my ideas and money to myself.
