ALUMINUM - NOT TIN

Hey Lewis Page:

We replaced kitchen rolls of tin-foil (for covering turkeys while in the oven, covering casserole dishes, or just making hats, etc.) with aluminum back in the 1940s. Turns out tin is expensive, aluminum is cheap. I know, I know, it's still nice and shiny and looks like tin-foil, but Lewis, it's not - really. It's aluminum-foil. Most people alive today have never seen a roll of tin-foil. I did once, in 1970 - it looked just like aluminum foil, on a cardboard roll in a long rectangular box with a serrated cutting edge - but it was a museum piece, very rare.

The rest of your idiotic rantings are just as up-to-date as your tin-foil rants.

So, the question is, are you truly evil as suggested by others, or merely the world's biggest bozo?
