I suppose if a person can't count candles, it's too much to use an eyedropper tool to match the color, right? --Duncan ===================== Freelance illustrator for HarperCollins, PS Publishing, Pocket Books, Solomon Press, American Media, Fort Ross, Asimov's Science Fiction, and many other publishers.

I didn't want to mention the specific company though. Even if it was a made in China, it is still few steps removed from the consumers - the importer would have to review what is it that they import, and the distributer, and the store... Our friends bought it at WalMart, which could have served as all of the above, but there are still people who should be responsible for the quality of the products they sell. Or maybe WalMart is not the right example? Cheers Moshe LOL Don :-) and thanks for your comment
