I've set that as the homepage for a clueless manager at work - he has no
idea how to change it, and gets a daily reminder of just how useless he is.

OOh Austin now you'll get pilloried for not calling it brazing ;-). I reckon
the most effective ways to attach alloy to steel ( more usually titanium)
are the newish glues used by the likes of BAe the difficulty being getting
hold of them, mind you Austins hotmelt silicone is a dammed sight easier to
apply. IMO owt that is secure at Mach 2 is good enough for me even downhill
with a following wind.

I phrased it most carefully. I at least, and by the sound of it you, know
the difference.

No, I like it when people are nice to each other. We should all do a lot
more of it.

And when people on *Usenet* are nice to each other, it really is a cause for
celebration
