[TheForge] Branding Irons?

[Grover Richardson]

Hmm.  I agree with Jerry, but (with due respect) I think the point is
slightly different.

The point of making things and people improperly using them is well made.
But in this instance the item will be made specifically to burn and char the
skin of people.  Therefore they will be made for that purpose.  Now the set
of rules is different.  Did we do everything properly, not how can we
predict how it will be misused<G>.  Yes this is sort of nit picking, but in
a world when people sue a company for selling them hot coffee; when they
were burned by said coffee that they duly asked for, paid for, and consumed
while covering their lap with the coffee, things get insane quickly.  I
prefer dropping catnip on the top of my sleeping Doberman and watching the
cats approach and attempt to acquire, while all the while NOT awakening the
dog<G>.  Cats were raised by the dog and think it's ma.  But dog spit is
bad, particularly when 75 pound ma puts a paw on 12 pound cat and begins a
full tilt boogie body lick.  Dirty filthy bad bad kittie.

All the Best.
