Hm. That sounds as if it's rather more technical than I'm going to be able
to manage myself, and I don't think I'll be able to convince the shop to do
anything different than what they did last time. (especially given that the
stickiness comes and goes, and it took me a while to even make them believe
that it was sticky at all..)
I guess I should look at replacing it.. drat.
thanks for the info, though -- this has been a pain for a while now, it's
good to know what's actually going on.
