Hi John,
Yes, I believe we have common ground where you suggested.
I hear you about stealing. After the long thread we had on this board, I disagree with you about it. Before this spirals in Krantzian fashion in the internet with no non-verbal cues present... note please that I'm not dismissing or demeaning you. I'm not mad at you.
I disagree with your final theme. This is not a case of "I didn't know or care this jewelry was stolen when I bought it with wink and nod".
When we communicated earlier, I figured it was obvious to you that the material reflected the material in the PCA library. I was poking a bit iirc at the semantics of your chat, not trying to hoodwink you. Had i truly been aware you thought this was a wholly new batch of material, I would have clarified for you. I apologize on that.
So, not a case of winking denial. Rather... a case where this stuff cannot be stolen. Simply cannot It is not owned by PCA. PCA has no claim. No right.
And, to degree that good will can trump legalities, I don't owe any good will. I did try.
I do understand if you disagree.
regards
david
