That, Ries, is a better reply than my pedantic one.

Not long ago I was at a meet where the demonsrator told a story of
having performed a particularly entertaining, clever and partly
accidental feat at the anvil.  Happens, of those present, only he and
I had been there 30 years before when that particular feat had been
performed by a third party.  Heh.

Of course (with a nod to Bruce) it did mildly rankle my sense of
documentary accuracy.  I could have called him on it but WTH, it was a
good story.
