Yeah.  And none of them are called "Aspirin".

At least with the wire screen, they don't give them all cutesy names
like Golden Glo Carpet Gard(tm), MamaMesh(tm), PapaMesh(tm),
Saf-T-Secure Whopper-Screen(tm), ComfortZone SparkBan(tm) etc. etc.

Jeez, you can't buy a burger or get a bank account without studying a
whole long list of "products", each with it's own cute l'il
trademarked name selected to appeal to room-temperature IQs and
conceal the fact that the "product" is, in some subtle but carefully
calculated way, a shuck.

So hey, I just *love* it when I can buy something I need that's just,
say, "10 mesh, 30 ga. stainless with crimped selvedge" where all
the words actually mean something.
