Rubbings and patterns

[Ron Nossaman]

>Hey, Ron, I just love to deal with perfect repairers like you and Jon, who

I'm glad I could help make your day John, but while it's gratifying to me
to bring you such happiness, I certainly don't need or deserve the
unnecessary flattery of being termed perfect.

I have, as I have also seen a considerable quantity of first rate results
from other techs using processes differing substantially from mine.
