Very good post David. However, will this be point no 7 or 8?
We still need clarification from Dave Martin regarding point no 7.
If the 'coffee table' thing doesn't work out for him, would you be prepared to have your post retitled as no 7?

I think 7 is valid: while workable, a double bass makes for a lousy coffee table. Definitely not "excellent".

Though this might be an excellent coffee table, it's a really crappy double bass - it doesn't appear to be able to play in tune...
