Larry,

I'm must be one or more of the following:
         1.  George Costanza
         2.  a guy with a lot of shirts with one or more missing buttons
         3.  a guy who resorted to calling 1-800- to buy a BUTTONEER, for 
"temporary" repairs
         4.  a guy who, when someone points out a missing button, 
reflexively responds "Wow, it must have just fallen off!

PS  I think I am going to hone my sewing skills by trying to make and 
replace the "leatherette" panels on a GTI's seats. If that works, then it 
will be on to the Scirocco seats. I need to find a sewing machine that is 
cheap but tough enough for upholstery.
