    Ok, I see your point. All I would say is that the one thing you probably should determine before you start is exactly how you will dispose of the glass, and exactly how much this will cost (if anything).

    I don't know what recycling CRT glass for use in CRT manufacture is like in the US, but in the UK it is not happening - simply because companies are not manufacturing CRT's any more. Nobody wants CRT's, all shops sell now are flat panels. One of the only other commercial options is sending the glass back to a lead smelter.

    I know lying is wrong, but if the elephant man came in now in a blouse with some make up on, and said, "How do I look?" Would you say, bearing in mind he's depressed and has respiratory problems, would you say, "Go and take that blusher off you mis-shapened elephant tranny?" No. You'd say, "You look nice... John""
