Well, I'll see if I can clear it out with concerted efforts, like you describe. Follow-up question: I wonder if I could put some vinegar into it, to dissolve the deposits a little, or would that be borrowing trouble? Think I'll go back to the antique one's y'all are describing, when this one bites the dust.
