Diesel works. I`ve used it when I was out of kerosene, but for soaking. If
you are doing this on bike, be sure and rinse the diesel off with something
(like WD-40) because if in contact with the o-rings too long, they will
swell and bind the chain, then they`ll tear.

Sarah,
He uses Adobe GoLive 4.0. A little on the heavy side to work with, but
for my money it's the best one out there.
(No, I didn't send Marc a note, checked the source code.) *geek alert,
