<< Well, then.  What were those void in the casting that I hit the last time I
 was drilling into a Yamaha vacuum cast plate?

I have no idea as to the specifics of what you found when drilling.  Just 
curious, why did you feel the need to drill through a fairly new Yamaha plate?

 Who is it that is claiming this?  I doubt that OS Kelly recasts more than
 maybe 0.5% of the plates that they make.  And most of those would be due to
 non-casting related problems.

I heard a statistic once that 68% of all statistics are made up. LOL Don't 
tell me I was taken in by the statistic man.  I find it hard to believe that 
the recast rate would be that low.  I am not beyond a public spanking and 
"oh, my goodness was I wrong here."  I had been told that by more than one 
individual.  I hate nothing more than repeating an untruth believing it to be 
fact.  Thank you once again Del.
