Gomez:

The phrase "Donut without the Hole" was meant to describe just that, I
continuous disk of metal with a radiused circumference, coupled to a mirror
image of the same--no hole.  Something like a pie dish, flat on the top and
bottom but a radiused circumference--no hole was suggested, but the absence
of a center hole was.  I'll spend more time making it clearer the first time
around in the future.
