That story sounds reasonably plausible to me, Amos. I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. Well, not toooo surprised, I guess. If Shane knew, he would be wild with jealousy. His "honour" would compell him to issue numerous idle threats, promise dire consequences, and resolve to go down to the USA and thrash the mysterious potter.......sometime. Not soon probably...but....sometime. When he gets all his other important business taken care of. Maybe then, eh?
