Alan,
This is not good news at all for the long run.Funny
how people in a free democracy have no problem
buying/supporting a RED Communist country who's intent
is to destroy that democracy by any means.Slowly,but

I recall a US dealer offering I think 1 inch plate
glass mirrors.Cann't recall exactly where I saw his
ad,but it stood out because of the thinness of the
blank.Might have been on Astromart.

Buy U.S.A. and save your children's future....
