BPtbo,
If one is going to steal techniques there are certainly worse people to steal from than SC and JE!!! Although in the thread with all the SC pics Mica posted, it seems his hands are all over that pretty Alembic. Practically molesting it!
As far as the shirts go.... are you trying to tell me that Wal-Mart has not yet invaded Belgium???!!! If so, I think we may have identified a business opportunity!
