Subject: What has happened to describing new sculptures on the list?

Dear one and all.

I am one of the lurkers that is so grateful for all the information that
appears on the list but to my embarrassment rarely contributes.  Over the
years I have seen a decline in models being described by their originators.
Many years ago there was much discussion about the best way to annotate
twisting terminology so that the word could be spread.  It seems that the
list is more full of opinions and argument than balloon ideas.  I understand
that all that appears in the list is related to the business of balloon
artistry.  However, sharing new ways of making a 4 balloon football playing
telly tubby is of far more interest than whether pioneer is going to buy
BSA.

On another tack.  There doesn't ever seem to be any large convention news in
the UK.  Are there any?

All the best
