    Thanks to the many kind people who replied to my query about rolling
    mills, both on- and off-list. Your opinions and information are
    beginning to congeal into that sort of lump, impossible to ignore,
    like a pebble in one's shoe, which indicates a decision is imminent.
    I figured I couldn't go too far wrong no matter what I decided, but
    it is helpful to hear from so many users that a modest or mid-range
    mill will likely be satisfactory for my not-very-demanding purposes. 

    The experience of trying to decide between a number of outwardly
    similar choices may be easier for some people than it is for me. I
    dare not compute the number of hours of my life I have spent in deep
    thought while trying to decide between 8 rolls of 430 double-ply
    sheets  AT  $3.75 versus 12 rolls of 692 single-ply sheets  AT $4.39 and
    so forth and so on. By way of thanks to all the generous
    contributors to my decision-making process, I append a short, true
    story illustrative of this sort of problem and, incidentally,
    showing that my decisions are ultimately not arrived at out of sheer
    penny-pinching. In fact, I may be one of the last of the big
    spenders. 

    I hope this is not too much of a digression from the serious topics
    normally considered, things like finding diamonds stuck to your
    cat's bum, for example.
