All and sundry:

BE MERCIFUL AND USE STAINLESS STEEL STAPLES!!

I don't know if one can buy any other sort today. After four hours of
separating small, crumbling tubes of rust from paper and washing my hands
some four thousand times, I can state definitively that in the late
sixties, another sort was available, and that in terms of longevity and
sturdiness, it sucked and continues to suck a big hairy weasel.

Thank you.
