Mea culpa - my apologies for spamming the newsgroup with my test massage. Er, message. In mitigation I offer the dismally unconvincing, yet strangely true, explanation that I was trying to debug a mailing list and applied fingers to keyboard before I applied brain to fingers.

To drag this remotely back on topic lest this be seen as more OTness: I was one of the lucky few who received a replacement Kryptonite New York lock fairly promptly. It's starting to get a light patina of surface rust just in the holes where the U-bit engages, which is starting to make it just a wee bit sticky. Now, when I were lad, it were drummed into me that grease and locks are things to be kept well apart, so I'm reluctant to grease it or oil it. But I don't want the bugger rusting (it has to spend rather a large portion of its life outdoors, or at least it will until the powers that be approved the covered cycle stands that have been on the agenda since 1,000,000 years BC. Any thoughts?
