[GreenKeys] cleaning solutions (A LEETLE OFF TOPIC)

[Lee Mushel]

Gee Whizz, you guys!   I can remember my paternal grandmother putting
kerosene on her bunions but I don't know what a Model 28 would think.
Perhaps I should check my model 26 table, being largely organic, for
bunions!   But then I don't know if the fluid they sell now for lamps is
even remotely related to kerosene.  And I certainly agree with the fair
warnings you've been given about the dangers of some of the  proposed
cleaners.
