Kimiko, I'm very very sorry that you perceived my response as "being
jumped on", it certainly, absolutely wasn't meant personally. I
apologize for my clumsy writing. Yours just happened to be the post
that brought the subject up again, so it's the one I responded to...
I probably should have just stiffled myself.
I guess my husband and I are just stuffy, but we do get tired of
people (in general, not you specifically) trying to justify all sorts
of modern things as having period antecedents, so why not use the
modern thing. This "Pillbox" terminology thing just pushed all our
buttons in that area, I guess.
So no, (thanks, Kathe) we weren't mad at anybody, just feeling a
little frustrated and lonely that there seem to be so MANY people who
seem to casually and unconcernedly confuse "what I want to be "so""
with "what is usually accepted by those who may have been
studying..." (and we live in an area that is absolutely chock-a-block
with them, which doesn't have a single thing to do with any of you on
the list, but does contribute to our "losing it" occasionally).
And yes, otsisto, I did notice McMasters' note about 22 pages of
documentation -- but not enough to want to buy a pattern I'd never
use other than to try to sort this out, <G>
So I'll go away and lurk again, because I can't seem to "talk"
tactfully enough not to cause upsets, no matter how hard I try. It's
always happening, has done forever, it's me and not anyone else.

It's called a delete button. If you don't like a thread, delete it
before you read it and move on. No reason to be snippy with what
people are offering to questions, especially as I didn't even
participate with the original conversation, offered something that
in my own words "*might* be a pillbox type hat" (I have no idea if
it is or isn't), and kept things brief.
Kimiko
who doesn't want to offer anything to anyone if I am going to be
jumped for doing so by others.
