If either oversized pins or sandpaper make more pins loose, isn't it time 
to just pronounce the block DOA and move on? As I asked a lady on the phone 
the other day, When the vet says the dog's dead, do you ask if he can patch 
it up just enough to bring in the paper on those days when it's raining, or 
the snow is really deep?

hostages have been milked out. Then it's time to play for dollars or move 
to another table."
