...and he argued with me that since the wood hadn't cracked, it was still usable. This has to be the worst one yet.

I'm not interested in the item, but his posting that "it can be used as is" is extremely dangerous.

Post by: Widow's Son on October 29, 2011, 09:15:00 PM: It used to really frustrate me when people would do something that my years of experience had told them was not a good idea. I guess I've mellowed some these past several years. Now I just figure, "stupid is as stupid does" and let it go. Some people just won't listen.

I just love the auctions that start off: "I know nothing about bows . . ."

". . . but can be used as is." Yep. For poking fires or as a gag gift.
