Glad to know that. I have reused them before, but never more than two or
three total playings (they go visibly dull VERY quickly, and unless they
look nice and sharp, I didn't dare use them).

Humm... I've never been able to track them down. But then again, last
time I really looked, was pre-internet for me (pre 94/95), so I'll have
to do a search now that I have the power of things like Sherlock and
Google at my disposal.
