I have lots of questions, but among them is: how large can we make a stamp and maintain a legible image?
Many of these seem to be a mix of decorative elements which are stamped, with large texts blocks that are relatively even. We also haven't asked, how did Buddhist stamping influence the Romani?

Yes, elite places = elite reproduction, and that was part of the difficulty... But getting absolutely ground into bone dust was really good for me intellectually, even if there are still scars.
I also got to see the nasty side of US elite culture, which taught me quite a lot.

No one I asked in the department knows who Bill Withers is, but that's ok, since I cannot tell the difference between Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen.
