I don't want to spoil all the fun but I think this is essential part of the
deal.

When one gets into gem business one can't fool around long before kicked out
because of stupidity. Or, learning to *trust* no one. I think it would be
scary if we try to sell our precious gem just by announcing it's Carats. I
hope we can assure more people of the real value if we do not only show the
shiny facets but also teach where to look for stains and cracks, and see if
they can see them or don't care. Or, who knows, maybe they just buy it to
make it better. Or, simply love it as it is.

Maybe we will get a todo list. Hopefully most of points you make will be
non-existent in near future. But probably we'll see few unpredictable notes.
I hope so.
