> it's all good, man. if it makes you feel better, i don't like rust. ;-) my eldest son loves it, though!

Ha! Yeah, it's no worries at all, I think it's fine to not like things. Everybody is different. And for these sorts of things, it's kind of a "there are two kinds of tools, the ones people complain about, and the ones they don't use" sort of situation: if I didn't think it was valuable, I just wouldn't use it. But it's valuable enough to use despite the griping at times.

Thank you for the story!

Off topic, but it's threads like these that keep me on HN. Gold :)
