I quoted Dick's 2005 article as I assumed it would be more likely to represent his current position that his earlier 1999 article. I admit that I have not asked him his current position. I am sure that the readers of this list have heard enough on the topic to make up their minds, so I suggest that we drop it. Mike More mikemore@rogers.com

I am not sure you really need to ask him his current opinion to find out, because he wrote an entry to his blog today in the shaving cream thread (or at least the post is attributed to him, evidently quoting Jerry Hale), wherein he (or else some scoundrel pretending to be him) said: Posted by: Dick Eastman | July 04, 2008 at 09:53 AM "As the representative of the tombstone company said (quoted above in the article), "You mean the shaving creme you put on your face every day for 60 years! Not hardly. What can damage one of my headstones is a bird that has been feasting on mulberries."" I agree - dead horse.
