Dave My left index finger is not as wide as it used to be. I always took pride in my swift cut. If you do it fast enough and the blade is really sharp, it takes about 500 ms for the brain to recognize the pain, then another 250 ms for the vocal cords to utter the response. That's almost enough time to enjoy the smooth result, which is then totally ruined by the recognition that the mat is lost to blood splatter for ever. I never claimed to be very bright, just determined. Regards Ralph W. Lambrecht http://www.darkroomagic.com On 2006-04-15 01:21, "Dave Valvo" <dvalvo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Blood? Kidding right?
