Becky,
I sense a put-upon tone to your email. I hope I am imagining this. But if
not, please don't feel trod upon---this anecdote with the corrosive CP is
interesting, even though the cognoscenti sitting in the front row find it
unlikely.

Steve, another insane posting, eh? Heh heh. Just don't forget to put a smiley
on your postings---you'll never know who will take you seriously. I recall
in grade school a kid who gave a presentation on tapeworms, and dutifully
reported that the accepted cure was to lie still with a cup of soup near
your mouth. The tapeworm, he insisted, would crawl out of the afflicted
person's mouth in search of the soup!
Cheers,
Barry
