Re-read please. If you can find something negative in there, I'd like to
know what it is. In fact, I took pains to make it POSITIVE! I just DID
ask you to tell me about blanks! YOU assume too much. You assume I WANT

from someone who faces mouthpieces as a business. It seemed like a
reasonable request to me.
