Not a problem, Chuck. We’re all friends here (C&C smiles), but I figured you could use a little push-back.
I’ve been sailing for about 50 years, and I have a fairly good sense when equipment should be retired. Nevertheless, as I said in a prior e-mail note, I plan to have the side straps looked at by someone knowledgeable about stainless. I appreciate the cautionary advice. Thanks for your follow-up note.

It was uncalled for and over the top. Having spent a fair bit of time on a professional level attending to service questions in a wide range of recreational sports, I guess I tend to have a knee jerk reaction when I suspect that someone is compromising safety in the name of frugality. Clearly this was not the case regarding your simple question of sourcing a replacement part for your blocks. Again, I apologize for the “lecture” and I’ll try to conduct future comments in a more professional and helpful manner.
