Tom, here is the link again. http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dftkrj3r_1dbnzbg Anyone should be able to view the letter, let me know if you continue to have trouble. To modify or add to the letter, please send me an email at al@thecarpentershop.net . I usually check email at night and can add your email address to the collaborators list so you can pitch in.
Thanks for the kudos, save them till this is done. I’ve picked up much of this info or the idea to search for it, from this site and others. You guys have already done all the thinking, I’m just pasting it together. I actually used a letter from another site as a template for the open letter rough draft. Just basically took the other guys main points and elaborated on them. Of course I posted on the same site to give credit for the use of the ideas, even made some changes recomended.
Now, understand this, please. I don’t consider the writing on the open letter to CR to be my best work, it needs a lot of polishing and some major revision. Now, the response to the lady who attacked Jim Heady’s column, that was good cause I was pi**ed off after seeing Jim’s well researched and well written column trashed by a corporate shill.
Smarmy? Boy, are they ever! We do need to avoid coming off like that. Have you heard that they refer to e-stone as the particle board of the stone industry? I don’t mind critizism, so don’t anyone hold back if I wander over to the dark side, just be sure and offer a solution or an idea for changing the message.
