Oops, that missed the target completely. I meant it more a humorous way but I can see that it is easy to be undertood offensive. It's just that I thought about how many smalltalkers are on earth? How many of them are in germany? And I mean all smalltalkers not those special gemstone smalltalkers. So the odds to find a smalltalker that does gemstone in germany are quite low, right. The odds that there is a workshop soon that deals with what you want to know about smalltalk/gemstone not too far away from your home that is free and you've been invited to are really really really low I think :)
That is the reason for my cynical reply: If regarding the odds you are looking for the same in a more comfortable distance from your home than it can be _that_ important. You see?
