    Bill, you won't get any flack from me... Back in 1973 I used to walk
    around the corner to the old Rio Grande (Edith Street) and buy 1000
    ounces or so of silver ( AT $2.20) once a week. Sheet, wire and solder.
    The question that started all of this was, "What can I expect from a
    bench test?" and the answer was and is "You better know how." It's a
    fundamental skill. It's so fundamental in the gold trade that I find
    it curious that anyone would even question my saying it......It's
    like saying, "Nah, you don't need to know how to solder....."
