OT: WD-40 Apology

[Harry Bissell]

OH MY: Sorry... I didn't put a wink after this one... I was JOKING !!!
What was I thinking... I should know that someone might take that seriously and
actually use the stuff... and I'd probably burn in hell for recommending it... I
would never use WD-40 as an electrical product.

It is good on lawnmower throttle cables...
Rusty nuts on Cars etc...
It is recommended by "Vistalite" to clean their poxy orange lucite cymbal triggers
(though I'd rather use gasoline... and a match...
BUT NEVER ON EELECTRONICS.... (not even in jest)

My concience is clear now (maybe I could use WD-40 ????)  :^) Harry
