Svargo:
Thanks for your input in this matter, because I think it brings us closer to some kind of resolution. However, I do raise objection to one particular point:
| Quote: |
And we do not want to spend our time to sort the good from the bad apples (specially since most are bad or very bad ones) so it is much simpler to have no links to any competitors.

While I do agree it would take resources to monitor the links, I believe your comment about 'most being bad' a bit misguided. My own recommendations for links are for reputable and well-respected importers and crafters here in the US who have a great respect for the Aboriginal people and WOULD NOT DARE pass off their own didjs as being Aboriginal. Rather, they have made their own statement in crafting didjs in non-traditional ways while being ever mindful of the cultural basis and history of this instrument and people i.e Tyler S./agave, Ben H./aspen and American hardwoods, Geoff F./yucca agave snake gourd, etc.
These individuals are amazing musicians and craftsmen whose presence only benefits the didj community, but I digress. Again, I don't mean to continue stoking the fire, only to provide some food for thought. You've enabled us a great resource to share our love for this instrument, and for that I am very grateful.
Best
Jason
