Yeah well, my kids are grown, too.  Nostalgia tends to blunt our dark 
memories.  Thanks for reminding me of the REAL smell of a baby's butt. 
Jim. Unfortunately, we were on the cusp of this "fathers can change 
diapers, too" mother's lib nonsense.  Geez!

As for using talcum powder on "set and forget" coil slugs, you're right, 
of course. However, its use is great for the inveterate tinkerer who 
just knows he can get one more 1/1000th of a microvolt out of that radio 
if he just tweaks it one more time.
