I had a simple question! Didn't want any drama, just a simple question on how to get my "POINTS PAPERED"! Not attacking you personally PAT, Just getting it off my chest! Sorry I asked! END OF DISCUSSION!! Not a trouble-maker, just like arrowheads and no DRAMA!!
As an outsider, looking in, I think what Pat's tryin to say is that there is no "standard protocol" and that he was simply giving his straight forward view of dealings with this gentlemen and ,in his opinion, a better way of approaching him for getting points papered. Which, in my opinion, is better than saying, "Heck, just give him a call or knock on his door!", knowing that is probably not the best approach.
Personally, I think Pat was doing the folks at AD a favor and certainly not trying to create any drama.
Everyone here's is definitely on edge and we certainly don't need anymore drama, IMO (and in Pat's opinion also, I'm sure).
First of all, I have been trying to respond to this message since I saw I should have been more diplomatic with my response and this is the first time I have been able to send a response since this was posted.
Michelle my sincerest apologies!!
Paul S. I apologize to you as well. I guess I should have clarified. it was the Luling show that was the straw that broke the camels back for me, where I heard several people that did'nt have the common courtesy to bad mouth Dwain face to face instead were talking about him behind his back. this is not the first show where I've seen this and I saw this post and you asking about the protocall and thought this would be a good place to talk about why Dwain is so guarded if you see him out and about and just hand him an artifact to look at.
rgs,you are correct about how Dwain handles his buisiness is up to him. I was not trying to do that, but was trying to explain why he seems so guarded,AND I was not giving an opinion of his personality, I dont know him well enough to do that...
Scientific name :Coleoptera
Common Name:Ironclad Beetle
Or as we call them when we find them in the brush, the good old click bettle. That's a worthy find Hal, worth framing or at least putting a leash on for a new pet. Some of those puppies get pretty big.
This will be my last say on this, my opinion..... Dwain is the best in the buisness as Texas points are concerned,He is a Knapper in his own right and has put his time in teaching the art. I believe that Flo Town with his knowledge of the art of Knapping could also put his name on a few points. all I know is shapes, and that gets me close, but the intricate details will ALWAYS elude me. The art of finding them, Are my PASSION...
