John! This craft proposal thread is most probably worth following,
discussing, and contributing.
But some of the folks out there (including myself) do not have the time
reading every post.
So if I wanted to even mute this thread in Thunderbird, which gladly
offers a specific feature, I'd fail. PLEASE kindly fix your Blackberry's
emails client configuration to respond _with a reference_ in order the
post is being filed within it's thread instead of open a new one.
I like the ability to mute threads, though I do not like to generally
put certain individuals on an ignore list. Please do not force me to do so.
Thanks!
Cheers
Klaus

In English, particularly American English, "craft" is now mostly used to mean
"handicraft": a decorative object, possibly but not necessarily useful, that is produced
one at a time rather than mass-produced. The borderline between the more beautiful craft objects
and fine art is sometimes a bit blurry.

Heh, well, that probably goes for very many sculptors (and art
galleries), although it is possible that some are not obsessed with
money, take pride in their work, and present it for the pleasure of its
viewers.
IMHO art is not a craft. Crafts do produce something useful while art
is mostly without the scope to be useful. It is more or less the
definition of art to be "useless" ;-)
Art is generally about meaning.
Maybe you wanted to express handicraft (de:Kunsthandwerk)?
cheers,
Martin
