My thanks to Rob for offering up his anonymity in the service of Europaoids
everywhere. Emhart reminds me of a RFI I sent to an arts school some years
ago. I was promptly visited by a very eager representative of the school
wanting
to sign me up. I was very embarassed. I was also 12. Never could deal
with
pushy salesman after that.
But the big question is - can we get them rivets in quantities of 10?
