Merle,
No thanks; no demos of thrashing, pls.
The bashing you did was what brought the matter back into currency. For that,
I am most grateful. I have already stolen the story and put it into memory,
and queued it for reuse, upon triggering. Primed, and set like a bear-trap.
Ouch. And ouch.
BTW, good sticks, like mine, are not heavy. The efficacy of a stick is not in
its weight, but in its lightness, and the skill of its user. Users know my
sticks when they use them. They tell me that they "cannot make a mistake with
them." This is one of the greatest compliments I have received -- not about
me, but about my sticks -- in my life.
And so we continue to practice. And make sawdust and shavings.
