RC: slant load vs straight load

["Joan Ruprecht" <ruprecht@tidepool.com>]

We're totally in agreement, we don't even use dividers, as the horses like
being in contact with a horse rather than a piece of metal.  For us
straightloads are "history", and Aluminum is "it" as here in "wet paradise"
rust is always the winner.
