Ivor quoted me:
"A good summary <foot as well, where I believe the same thing), and when the lid fits well
(as all lids should) it is like a "ground-in" seat, giving a very positive,
affirmative closure.>>"

And then said:
"And when you turn that lid on it's seat it sounds like silk on skin. No
harshness whatsoever."

Exactly Ivor. If a lid-jar seat is glazed, when you place the lid, or
rotate the lid in its seat, it makes noises like fingernails on a
blackboard. It's all wrong.
