You've given me the courage to come forward -- I am that fan. Let them say what they will, I've said it and I'm glad.

I wonder why it must come to this. Could you not, just before giving up for the day, smooth these ridges out with a fan brush to avoid the scraping step? Would there be some quality lost?

Since I'm all you've got I thought you might tolerate such a question.
