The difference is immaterial.

Steel rusts.

Stainless steel doesn't. Copper corrodes.

That's terrific, but not exactly a case for putting up a Slinky; an
equivalent length of penny-a-foot lampcord will work as well.

Sorry to hear that. If it helps at all, I crushed my thumb in the car
door two days ago. The nail should be falling out really soon. I never
realized there were so many shades of blue or how difficult it is to go
pee without a thumb. I think I'll try sitting down next time. Rumour has
it that women have been using that technique for a few millenia.

Say mannnnn,,, get a grip.But please dont let your mitts get cross
hatched up in a car door and let it slam on you.I guarantee you,it isn't
any fun! I needs to hitch on over to one of my certain other webtv user
name thingys and tell that 86 year old Ham Operator guy whom was in the
U.S.Navy (he lives in Mesquite,suburb on the East side of Dallas,Texas)
about this 1957 movie on tv,Battle Hymn.

What it is,he once told me a few years ago about a U.S.Army guy (in
Asia) who ''swapped'' his Jeep with the rods knockin for one of their
good U.S.Navy Jeeps.
