Naturals vs synthetics seems to be a controversial subject that resulted in a ruckus across the Net and in the “resignation” of an infamous blogger, but somehow I am sure this event will be very kindly and generously monitored by all involved.
The speakers all do sound fabulous! May 16, 2006 at 7:08am
BoisdeJasmin: E, it does sound like a great event. Naturals and synthetics can coexist beautifully, as they have for more than 100 years. May 16, 2006 at 2:53pm
