Message: You know what i think. This generation has a harder life at school. For example: im 13 years old and in year8 but i always have at least 2 assignments to do and when i get home i do homework, eat and do more homework then go to sleep. i end up going to sleep at bout 10:30 or later because i always have maths, english, and science hw.i do understand where your coming from but instead of saying dont e-mail me about tie-dyeing why dont you just put it all in your web site? So give our generation a break cause my mum says she didnt do even half as much hw as me.

Nowhere do I tell people not to e-mail me about tie-dyeing. I merely ask that people not ask me the same questions again which are already answered on my web site: at least take the time to read over the FAQ first! If I don't put in more information, for example about the history of tie-dyeing, it is often because I do not have more information to give.

There are now over three hundred pages of information on dyeing fabrics on my web site at http://www.pburch.net. You are quite welcome to read any of them in doing your research, though you should be careful to use footnotes to credit any web site you use for information, and avoid plagiarism.

Even if your teachers overload you inappropriately with homework, and I certainly agree that the amount that is given is often far more than is reasonable, my writing your papers for you is not the answer. You will still need to learn to use the library to do research. Although you see a great deal of information readily available in the web, it is not always correct, and it is dwarfed by the sum of information available in libraries.
