I am reminded of a comment Ugo DeRosa made many years ago when he
attended his first trade show in the U.S. in New York City.
A young and relatively unknown American framebuilder from the Northeast
was displaying some very nicely crafted frames at the show and Ugo
stopped by the booth, looked over the frames carefully, shook hands with
the young framebuilder and said through an interpreter, "You copy my
frames very well".
Pretty smooth backhanded compliment, huh?
