> It was Bill's tarring of plastic sextants that I was disputing, not > anything that Burch said. George I feel like I am in a Monty Python sketch. The one where a man pays for an argument, walks into a room, and gets nothing but contradiction. He points out it is nothing but contradiction, and the fellow behind the desk says, "No it's not." And on and on we go. I give. You're right. Let's end it. I hate, loathe, and despise plastic sextants. And Barbie dolls, and plastic tooth brushes, and fiberglass boats, and ceramic firearms, and plastic beer cups. I am serious about those skimpy plastic beer cups at festivals.> As for the Ebbco, it's now rebadged as a Plastimo, and > I would be surprised if Plastimo doesn't sell in the US, if Bill is keen to > try one for himself. Thanks for the lead. Have Googled them, and have found no sources in the US at this point. I e-mailed Plastimo US to determine if they are retailed here. And yes, would love to try one myself. Maybe even purchase one so I could place it on the mantel, walk by and shout, I hate you," at it ;-) Bill
