David, 

Hi.  Sorry if I offended you with my free cassette offer.  As a fellow
professional puppeteer I make it a point to share lots of ideas with this
list.  Special techniques like our latex process, flocking, blinking eyes,
remote control, sharing suppliers lists or exchanging ideas are freely
shared with this information exchange list and I have done so for 2 years or
so now. 

As for these cassettes, I could have just thrown them away like my wife
suggested, but I thought that they would have some value to puppeteers who
could use a break on a free bag of them.  Anyway the 500 cassettes are
almost gone now and we even saved some landfill space in the process.  

As far as promoting our company on this list, we are all puppeteers here and
can benifit from each other's supplies and offerings.  It's a very small
niche profession and the internet can provide a wonderful library of
interractive resources to anyone interested in the art.  I really try to
balance my promotional offerings with a solid exchange of information and ideas.

All the best!

Ax
