+1, BT.don't hesitate to take a company up on its lifetime warranty.
that's what lifetime means.
i read recently that less than a fraction of a percent of all items sold with "lifetime" warranties are ever replaced by the company, so it's not a big deal to them and they get great advertising bucks out of both ends of the transaction.
if you're lucky enough that they're still in business in some cases.
