I myself was instruduced to the WW hobby by Norm and Roy. Without them, I'd have just stayed with being the toy maker of the family, a mantle that was passed down from my Grandfater.
Just to be clear, I'm sure I never said a word about Norm and whether David liked or didn't like him or anything else in that area.
My comments were regarding the elitist attitude some people take to making furniture based on antiques - that there's only one way to do it that's proper.
