You are welcome to voice your opinion. Al should be able to voice his as well without your condescending response. Al was not trying to convert you, only giving a simple statement of how CA works for him. Perhaps it will help others who were reading.

Nobody is obligating you to use it, > Ron. But don't pretend it has no useful purpose in working on pianos. I don't know why I can't voice an opinion here without it turning into a stupid war. If you think I pretended CA wasn't useful, it's in your own mind. I said no such thing. I said I don't carry it, and don't intend to. I couldn't care less what you use it on, how much, how often, or what flavor. You have my blessing to use gallons of it if that works for you. I also couldn't care less about what you think of my not carrying CA. It's not your decision. It's mine, so evangelize at someone else. I made a statement of personal preference. That's it. I don't have to justify it to your satisfaction, and I'm not trying to cram it down your throat, but I don't apparently get a similar courtesy. I didn't even bring it up at all. You did. Ron N
