Not to try and steal your thunder Paul, but Joe stated it correctly - perhaps unconventionally from a mathematical standpoint (least common denominator), but accurate non-the-less.

He just doesn't say what "part" he is using! ;-) Terry Farrell On Sep 16, 2009, at 2:48 PM, paul bruesch wrote: > I'm curious why less lanolin?
