RE: Stripping?

<laugh>
It sounds like me also. I rememeber sitting down holding a mini in my
left
hand and drilling with a black & decker power drill with my right hand
and
thinking "This is REALLY stupid, I'm going to slip and turn my fingers
into
ground beef". This was, of course, after the 3rd time the drill bit
slipped
off the mini. We all do things we regret.
