You should let someone else remove it next time.

It's not just your opinion, it's a fact. Freewheels get tightened by
riding, cassettes don't, so making cassettes easier to remove (assuming
splines - if you factor in suntour-type pegs freehweels can be a
nightmare).

Oh man! The things one learns on r.b.t. Does that say something
flattering or unflattering about me that I didn't get that joke and had
to resort to Google to "educate" myself?
