The speculation is much more fun than the reality.

I'll let you speculate about that before I tell you why. Because he's been called a "selfish asshole" (several times), it has been implied he sucks as a father and should give up his kids to foster care? While mods are in the thread and say nothing about it because it is Archie after all? And because he remained a gentleman about it?
While I'm glad to know we can stretch the CoC that far, I still think that remaining civil in the face of nasty, holier-than-thou bitchiness is admirable. He's a far better man than me.

Archie slew 130 snow leopards with nothing more than a stick of gum, a thumbtack, a sheet of paper, a 5" length of copper wire, and three AGS-30 grenade launchers. He's revered by Afghans and Nepalese as मुक्तिदाता ( muktidātā, "great savior") for his services to humanity in the region. The locals are raising funds to produce a documentary, " Demon (Snow Leopard) Slayers of the Koshi River (Sapt Koshi)", in which Archie is one of two heroes being documented. Word is that he's quite the tall, dark, and handsome type too. Form one line, ladies.  |

This was a thread about having a will. I'm sure Archie was kidding about the drying thing and if anybody wasn't sure about it, I'm positive they contacted Child Welfare, right? Give me a break - not excuses. It's "who does it" around here. |

So, do we ever get to find out this story of why he is a hero or what?

Lol! Archie the superhero accountant with a long bar.
Archie recommended a cleaning product for my glass top stove. I ordered it. It is fantastic!

I too have a glass top stove. I clean it very carefully with stuff you aren't supposed to use on it and it still looks great thankfully, but I'd like to know what you bought. |

Greg do not use a razor blade or an abrasive on a glass top range or it's ruined. I've read that the edge of a plastic credit card can be used for tough burned on food. |

I have used razor blades with no untoward effects. In fact, the instructions that came with my stove recommended the use of a razor blade for difficult-to-remove residue. Maybe different brands have different requirements. |

I guess if you are careful of not scratching it with the corner a razor blade would work like the plastic card. We usually put some baking soda on and cover it overnight with a wet dish towel.
