In fact I did provide a description of how to reproduce the
problem. If you weren't a fan boy knee-jerker, you might have seen
it.

I just placed an order with OnlineMetals.com. Their inventory is
limited, but their aluminum flat bar is half the price. So that
takes care of part of my order.

I provided the text of the McMaster error message, for anybody who
can read.
