which is why in my opinion it wont work very well.


Just yesterday, that wasn't an opinion, it was a fact. In either case, one
supposes it must be a great comfort, in a life that reportedly has so few,
to know that one can still trump the many years of other people's combined
experience with a simple statement unencumbered (thus far, anyway) by
experience of one's own.

Dressed with the right poly yarn, which is hydrophobic, it will work a lot
better.


Dressed with a bit of much deserved humility, this would work much better.
