Ken....all best to you.
I'm a late comer to this thread. I've read just enough to see folks feelings have been hurt which is a shame. For me, the Cafe is a place to relax and not a place to throw gas on a fire. I am sorry you are having problems with your fingers, and I hope that condition improves with a little time away from the mando.
Your friend,
Tim Burcham
