<P>Phelim and Harrison, wowh, this is really creativity-nourishment!</P>
<P>I never knew that things were kept from corrosion by replacing water ~ sounds
to me like a simple and excellent idea at the same time.</P>
<P>So I picked this up and have been wondering: "What is replaced by using
OST - what is OST preventing?"</P>
<P>My answer: <BR>"With OST
the energy-taking, distructive and only blocking 'I
am against it' or 'I don't bother' attitude is replaced by the fruitful attitude
of people taking responsibility for what they real care about."</P>
<P>I know what I mean (and hope you do to), but sense it's not fluid, yet. So if
anyone has an idea how to put this in better English, please jump in!</P>

That's the<BR>> name straight out of the lab book used by the chemist who developed WD-40<BR>> back in 1953. The chemist, Norm Larsen, was attempting to concoct a formula<BR>> to prevent corrosion -- a task which is done by displacing water. Norm's<BR>> persistence paid off when he perfected the formula on his 40th try.<BR>> <BR>> how many attempts did it take to create OST? <BR>> <BR>> 2000 uses for WD40 or open space maybe?<BR>> <BR><BR></P></DIV>
