Just out of curiousity, what did you think was so amazing about this?
Seemed pretty much the "same old" discussion, albeit nicely formatted...

Perfectly clear. You're deconstructing the idea of a FAQ. Instead of
accumulating information in a central repository you're attempting to
post the trivia on a more frequent basis in individual posts. You're
doing a public service by catering to the inefficient.

Thought I'd made it clear, but guess it went right over your head.
I'll quote myself:
"It's amazine sometimes, the stuff I run across while looking for

The amazing part is I found the piece on rust while doing a google
search for something entirely unrelated to to rust, or even metal. So,
I was surprised when I came across it. A link or two to articles about
fighting rust is alwys handy. And no mantter how many times it's been
beaten to death here, it'll come up again in a day or two anyway,
because people seldom do any research before they ask for someone else
to solve theyr problem for them. Clear now?

A wad of cloth stuffed into a small lemonade bottle with some linseed
oil in it will make a good rub to go straight onto any patches of rust
that you notice when using a toy once in a while. The oil seeps ast the
rust and incorporates it into a resin bond. And it easily wipes off
machine surfaces that you want free.

Indeed yes, "amazing". On occassion I try to introduce a but of

you, as the case may be; "amazine" is an archaic usage of the word

Right. Those silica gel cannisters mentioned in the article are the
right idea, just too expensive. I save all of those little bags of
silica gel that are used in packaging assorted hardware and such. Put
them in an oven at 300 degrees for a bit and then put them in a plastic
container with some holes (no holes on the bottom). Same idea as store
bought, but essentially free.

You can buy silica gel cat litter. It's about $12 CAD for 8 lbs.

Even that is kind of expensive for the cat, so I'm thinking about trying
to find an industrial source.
