"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
Thanks all for your input. Yeah, we're using protective tape and it helps a ton in the day to day, it's just all that sneaky crud UNDER the mesh that gives me the grief. And Foo....I'm an equal opportunity beater: if that aint the guy who popped the tiny hole in my screen, then he's probably the guy who left the spatula handle-deep in the ink, or maybe the one who mixes ink and double-dips from the blue to the yellow, OR...well, you get my drift. .
