Hi Dick,
I already had a bet with myself that you would be the first...
Thanks for adding a new term to my poor vocabulary...I had to look it up in the Oxford dictionary. Now, IF it is a proper abstract of the possible crap I have written it is so compressed that it makes little sense after all so you are much wwelcome to expand your criticism further in order to make it more understandable to me ( and maybe some other reader as well...)

Gargoyle,
Hello, Being an illiterate alien I'm afraid I have to ask you the same since I don't get what you mean...
"It is your wrist that be *chaffed* .."
Please translate/explain so I might understand !
" TALK and Communicate"
"TALK"... What do you suggest? Over the phone?
"Communicate" is what I am trying to by giving my opinion on the matter(s). I am fully prepared to continue...but tell me first what you actually refer to by:

"The strap should only be replaced with stiched leather by an accomplished "shoe maker."
