I am proud to see Vince post that. It couldn't be any
clearer!!!

No one has shown crazing to have caused any physical
harm as far as mold or bacteria is concerned from
crazed pottery. Will it happen? After millions of
people have already been eating off pieces such as
that this many years, I sincerely doubt seeing an
authenticated case but we are sure to see a law-suit
hunter eventually try to go up against it in some way
or some new study done by who-ever needs the lime
light. After all, people sued because their coffee was
too HOT, they done it again because their kids were
getting too fat from eating at fast food joints. My
concern would be it weakening a piece that is used in
a stove where it could break in your hands and cause a
severe burn moreso than the other which at this time I
consider null and void as an issue when compared
against one another.

There's way too many people out there wishing to make
someone else responsible for their ignorance. You have
to calculate your risks in everything you do now days.
Perhaps this is why we see so many cautionary
statements and the continued back and forths trying to
find the bottom of the pit. You won't find the bottom,
someone else make the pit deeper everytime you think
you are getting close.
