	If you recall, I panned this one because it really wasn't buying 
	much, whereas the grasshopper was a great idea and produced a
	fine device.

	Some of your hair-brained ideas are more hair-brained than
	others.  So far the grasshopper has been your coup de grace.
	For what it's worth, I like Ray's hammer a lot, but I like
	yours better.  Ray's is simpler, and certainly cheaper to
	manufacture, whereas yours is a cadillac version with all
	manner of adjustability built into it.  I like that a lot.
	It made a significant difference when working with it,
	depending on what it was being used for.  And it's the best
	soda can crusher on the planet, bar none.
