I wonder if Thurman hangs out at the "Papermaking Museum" at Ga Tech??
Hey Magnolia Media, Just want to say a big thanks for removing posts 1 and 2 above. The jokes (completely unrelated to the subject matter) took away positive energy from one of the more interesting, creative distinctions of Milton - Artists and their Work.
Keep it cool....

Why haven't similar inappropriate comments been removed throughout this site? Don't all Milton citizens deserve the same courtesy and respect?
That is an excellent question, however, betcha don't get an answer from the blog administrator(s).
The removing of posts on here kinda reminds me of that "pot luck justice" they hand out in Alabama.
