But the puprose of my post is not to state what has already been said about the quality of your work. I just wanted to share some thoughts I had while reading all the previous posts. I think that in this whole thread, there is something hidden between the lines, and that is everyone's (mine too) remote hope to someday acquire this copy of SW, and their frustration about your clear statement that is is "for your eyes only". I can see no other reason for the tremendous interest people have shown. I know you know that, and I believe that you feed on that. I don't say that to accuse you, it is perfectly normal and human to feel good for yourself when people want something from you, you are not willing to give. It gives you a sence of power that you like to hold on to. My objection is to the extend this has been happening.
Secondly, it makes my wonder: How can a creator of something, feel that his creation has been completed, when it is sealed in a safe, not fullfilling it's puprose (to entertain in your case)? Maybe it is just me, but every single thing I have ever created (my creations are not relevant to this forum, they are of another nature) gave me this feeling of completion only when it was in the open. But then I realised that this thread suites you perfectly: You gain the approval of your audience, without actually having to share your work. My opinion is that this is not the right way for a creator, artist or collector to satisfy his passion.
By my post, I don't want to diminish the help you have given to people by "enlightening" them on matters of techinque and matterials, I just wanted to light another aspect of this thred. I could of course be 100% wrong.
I look foreward to reading your opinion.
