Quite right. I read WAY to much into your postings. I was being to
clever by half.

I began reading to much between the lines with Veedubber's comment that
it just is not the fabric, but also the supporting structures underneath
that have been hidden for 25yrs.

I explained to Veedubber that I am a scaredy-cat about what Father Time
and his insidious sidekick Water Vapor will do to a structure over the
years. Personally, I would replace the fabric, but Veedubber informed me
that there are devices that can ultrasonically test for hidden rust and
defects. (Is it safe to assume that questionable wood can also be picked
up?)

Cy, Jim and Veedubber, please accept my apologies.
