The old seat is NOT broken and I've been abusing it (the seat, you dirty ...) for probably 20 years. Just a little old and neglected looking (the seat, you dirty ...).
It was the NEW seat I bought that was broken when I took it out of the box! If it broke in the box, I hate to see what would happen if I sat on it!
I guess I will not get another one of those seats if it can break during shipping. Maybe I'll order one of those flamed toilet seats I saw in one of the many catalogs I get in the mail.
