Last week I asked about "Mouse Milk" after I found a reference about it in
the archives.  I just found a posting in my "Vanagon" mailbox from back in
Jan. which I didn't bother to read but filed away knowing that I might want
the info one day.  See, I knew there was a reason that I filed away all
this useless junk!

I've reposted the whole string for all to see.  If anyone can shed more
info on this stuff please do.  Such as: what is it made of, is it really
better than WD-40 (or is it the same stuff: different label), a cheap
source for it.
