Listers,

     It is not very often that I feel stating my opinion (regarding a
controversial issue) in this forum is worth the potential backlash and
quagmire of argumentative emails; however, HOORAY for Professor
Twist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been watching dismal balloon
"artists" ruin the market with their poor attitude for years. I am not
talking about newbies either, I'm talking about pseudo-twisters. You know
those twisters who make garbage without smiling and then promptly extend
their hand for money. It's not that they don't have potential it's that THEY
DON"T
CARE and they obviously aren't having fun. I seriously try and win soured
customers back to balloons every time I work. This is a GREAT industry and
we should all (each one of us) try and keep it gaining in popularity. And
they all twisted happily ever after. The END.

p.s. I do not know Franklin, and I did not mean for this to apply to him in
anyway.
