Hello Curt and Mal
Just wanted to make a comment on your comment. You are indeed entitled to your opinion. But may I ask you to read the entire thread before making the accusations you made??? As with most threads and suggestions things evolve. The statement about kitless only has changed by the OP. After a few members have brought to his attention that, and i will use the word WOW pens can be made with kits as well as kitless, he has agreed to this and encourage them to be included.
You use the word ELITE. What would you call those pens that are above and beyond what you see here everyday?? Attach that word to them. This idea of this thread is not to single out anyone especially as you call them ellitists. The idea of this thread is try to get a sub category in the forums and I am not sure where you would put it (but to me it makes sense in the show your pen). It is an attempt to preserve and archive those special pens that stand out because of technique, looks, odd materials used, shape or form or whatever quaifications that are agreed upon. How this happens will take some thought. Weather it is a member vote or a committee vote or a combination remains to be seen.
As far as making them and entering into the guild is not what this site is about. You want the members to stay here and share their work here. It benefits everyone. There is no down side to this. When you were growing up and went to school, did it not occur to you that the teacher was smarter than you??? Lets make these our teachers. Lead by example and that is what you want the better pen makers to do. Not everyone can be expected to make that special outstanding pen but it is not for lack of info here or ideas. It is up to each and every one of us to do the best we can and be thankful for it. Enjoy the ride man.
I mean you have these contests in so many catagories and so few people enter compared to the membership. But there is always a winner. Nothing holding anyone back from entering except you and you alone.
I do not want to put words in the OP mouth but these last 2 comments are bit on the bashing side.
