Folks like John Baymore, Marcia Selsor, Neil Estrick and Chris Campbell are regular contributors. Several years ago I lurked on Clay Art. I unsubscribed because there was just too much crap to sift through before you got to the nuggets. Any public forum can have its bad apples or difficult personalities, but I think CAD works to build more of a community/tries to get its participants from being so anonymous. You can build a profile and post photos of your work to a gallery. CAD posts some great video excerpts too. <br /><br />http://ceramicartsdaily.orgS.

I mostly read clayart when I have time but not that often I can't even remember if I have ever posted there but sometimes there is good info posted that I can learn from.<br /><br />Yhr problem with the written word is other's can't see the person's expression or get the feeling behind the words and oftentimes the written word can be miscontrued. A few bad apples can spoiil the whole that's for sure.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-25806941361980995782013-12-19T09:27:39.189-05:002013-12-19T09:27:39.189-05:00I appreciate your Netiquette.

This is an excellent blog. It captured my attention. And yes, Facebook is the new f word. It is not cool anymore : (, it is mainstream. I still like it.

It is purported to be about ideas, spreading knowledge... but It's intimidating and full of shit because of a select few who make it that way.<br />and the administrator really has no interest in changing that.<br />they are ludites. and it was time for me to move on.Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-13725473710792852932013-12-18T19:41:52.963-05:002013-12-18T19:41:52.963-05:00I never joined clay art, read too many posts from ...I never joined clay art, read too many posts from people that were far superior to me and I figured that I wasn't smart enough, a good enough potter,didn't know enough about anything to join, so apparently I am not missing much! It's the same with so many of these things.we have a chatham county thing, that as you might remember I pissed off half the world on, and there is a photographers one called sports shooter where nearly every photographer out there that is an asshole proves it quite well every day. I stay away from this stuff, life is simpler that way! Too bad people can't be nice as easily as they can be mean, ugh!Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-24793661600273863262013-12-18T17:16:00.117-05:002013-12-18T17:16:00.117-05:00shoot, i don't even know this listserv....or c...shoot, i don't even know this listserv....or clay buddies or...anything!
