I think J.P. was trying to help. People get tired of the upteenth discussion on a subject and tend to not respond. So, in the event of that happening, you friend can access the previous information. When you bite the hand, the hand pulls back, so take your own advice.

Just for the record, I'm partial to tortoise shell, although a Clayton Gold, filed and beveled just right, can almost imitate the same sound. Depends on what sound you're trying to achieve.
