We can also let them know we will never buy from a business that tries to
get free advertising this way.

I certainly hope they don't try to insult our intelligence by saying they
really did find this and just want to help. That would be the third sleazy
marketer today to try that.

But while we're on the subject of bamboo cutting boards -- has anyone
had experience with their durability? I've seen them in several places
but haven't met anyone who's actually had one for any length of time.

For a couple three years I have had a small one that is used often.
It doesn't get any special attention, of course I don't put it into
the dishwasher. Couple knife marks as all my cutting boards have,
other than that, it's great. Cleans up nicely, dries fast.

Thanks for the tip. Although I'd never buy from a smammer. Bamboo is
also eco friendly as it grows so fast. My brother just did his
bathroom suite floors with it. It's beautiful but was pretty
expensive. I think about 7 buck a square foot. I'm told installed
properly it's suitable for even bathrooms. Hopefully, because that's
what he did and he used about 600 square feet. LOL

Ditto. Actually, I bought mine from Whole Foods, it was there,
it was priced okay, but they have them in any home store like
Bed Bath and Beyond or Linens and Things or Target, blah blah.

Wow, that's some bathroom. But, yeah, I guess that's why the
bamboo seems to dry fast, being rather impervious to water compared
to wood. The only issue would be the glue, and of course they
use some type that is appropriate.

Did you "season" it first? I think they recommend oiling it before use.

I have a small one, but don't use it much. It does clean up and dry
well, as you say, but I just don't like the way it feels under my
knife. Too "brittle," if you get what I mean. I also use the plastic
boards, mostly for chickens for their convenience in cleaning, but
when I'm going to be doing a lot of cutting of a variety of things I
always reach for the big old butcher block style, mostly maple,
board. It's an aesthetic thing, I guess, more than anything else. -

$7/sqft would be extremely cheap for ceramic tile installed, typically
costs twice that, and more if good quality ceramic, would be a lot
more for porcelain.... but 600sqft is a HUGE terlit... even if all the
walls are tiled to the ceiling and the ceiling is tiled too 600sq
would be some HUGE terlit.

Six hundred sqft is like a decent sized 2 bedroom apartment with an
EIK. An oversized 2 car garage is under 600 sq ft. mine is 24' x 24',
that's 576sqft. a fairly large two car garage, will easily house two
super cab pick up trucks with plenty of room left over.

The average full bath is like 50sqft (5' x 10'😉, and the standard 5'
tub takes up more than 10sqft.

Raw fish, foul or meat I cut on a plastic board. Bread, veggies and
spices, as well as anything that's already cooked I cut, slice, chop
or otherwise abuse on a butcher block. So far no one has died so I
guess I'm doing it right. :^)

i cut meat on my wooden board (of course, washing afterwards). if
they die, they die.

At least it's hard. But that's the problem with bamboo cutting
boards, they look nice but the resin that forms the matrix is fairly
hard and slightly abrasive... dulls knives as though cutting on
manicurist's emery boards.

I like the new polypropylene boards, they don't dull knives, they are
made in all colors and configurations to satisfy any decor, and are
very inexpensive so you can afford a stack... after using just put in
the dishwasher. And they are typically impregnated with a germacide
that lasts the life of the board plus they don't absorb odors.

It was posted through Google. You will get a response from Google that

I suppose they could care less but typically they *couldn't* care
less.

It was posted through Google, but some other place carries their web page.
Beside, I'm complaining directly to the seller. Why not let them know you
don't appreciate their spam?

You can use a variant on my method of dealing with phone spammers.

1. Contact them and ask if you can place orders by fax. Write the
number down.

2. Using your favorite image editor, create an 8.5" x 11" solid black
image. In the center of the image, using white 30-point text, write
"Please Stop Spamming Usenet". Save the image as a JPG or GIF image.

3. Open your favorite word processing app and create a 1-page doc.
Insert the image in the middle of the page. Save the document.

4. Click on the image and hit CTL-C once. Now hit CTL-V 10 times to
create a 10-page document.

5. Now click one on the document and hit CTL-A, CTL-C to grab the
whole thing. Again hit CTL-V 10 times to make the document 100 pages
long.

6. Print the document to a PDF file.

7. Use your fax modem to send the document to the spammer once a
night for a few weeks.

I've used this to get persistent phone spammers to take my number off
their lists. It usually only takes one or two 100-page faxes to do
the trick. Note that you should precede the fax number with *70 to
block your caller ID.

That's a juvenal retaliation. Are you 12? Be a man and complain
directly to someone in charge.

Some kid in their marketing department thought posting here would be a
good idea. At least it's a legitimate business where you can make
your voice heard, unlike our handbag and shoe spammers, so grow up and
complain in an adult manner if you're so bothered.
