[TheForge] Post Vise Craziness

[Bruce Freeman]

I thought of doing that, but decided against.  I'd have to send him the
comment via ebay.com, using my ebay ID.  Jerks like this tend to
retaliate with false smears against you.  (If you don't agree he's a
jerk, read again what he says about those swages and about the
blacksmiths who tried to set him straight.  The jerk!)

Caveat emptor.  It took me about 3 minutes to ascertain, via the
Internet, the info., below.  Anyone else can do the same.

Write him a letter and let him know it.

In fact, I heartily suggest everyone write him notes.  ID yourselves as

blacksmiths.  I'd love to see how he deals with a barrage of mail from

skeptical smiths calling him on claims that sound to be bordering on
the 
fraudulent.

Yeah... I know... I have way too much time on my hands.
