    Me too!!! When I order a certain size stone(s), its because thats
    what I need. If I needed a 3.8mm, instead of a 4.0, thats what I
    would have asked for. Thats the way it used to be, but the bigger
    companies have become(a few in particular come to mind) so chincey,
    that I have shifted a respectable % of my business elsewhere. When I
    need commercial grade junk, I still call the same old haunts out of
    convenience, but I have taken my better grade needs  elsewhere. When
    the big guys cannot fill a lowend order accurately, it makes me
    pretty jumpy to ask them for the better pieces. Unfortunately, I
    know that my orders wouldn't even be noticed if I stopped everything
    now. LONG LIVE QUALITY!
