Re: [ATM] how good is this mirror?

[Vikram Chhatre <crypticlineage@gmail.com>]

My apologies if my post was not appropriate for this list. 

Thanks Richard for the advice.  I found out after reading your post that 
I have made a complete idiot of myself by buying this mirror;  guess I 
had to learn the hard way.  I should have known that its impossible to 
get a quality mirror for a low price.

I think I would like to go the way most people as you mentioned on this 
list go: grind your own mirror.  I am on my way to google mirror 
grinding information but in the meantime if anyone would like to share 
the wisdom of their experience on any relevant info, I will greatly 
appreciate it.

Richard, thanks again for the reply.

Greetings,
Vikram
