For Stephen: Play as many horns as possible and give the better ones a bit of time. In the end, buy whatever floats your boat and stick with it a good long while. It takes a long time to evaluate a horn in highly personal terms. Cheers, Paul Mansur On Tuesday, December 2, 2003, at 08:35

Don't drink any kerosene, white gasoline, naphtha.-AC. Scotch is about half grain alcohol. Alcohol is a good solvent to dissolve grease and oil. Voila! Eureka! etc. Kerosene and white gasoline and naphtha are also solvents. What to do, what to do?
