The makers of head cleaners urge you to make routine use
of a head cleaner.  On the other hand, the maker of my VCR
(Panasonic) says NO head cleaning.  Whom should I believe?

OK, I'm not naive: let's figure out what is good for the vendor
in each case.  The cleaner maker: it's pretty simple; he likes
to sell cleaner.  The VCR maker: hmmm, guess what, he probably
wants the VCR to look good for a long time and preserve his
reputation.  So while Panasonic may be just as selfish as Alsop,
it happens in this situation that what's good for Panasonic is
good for me.
