I stumbled hard over this. I read that last sentence about five times :^D That's a curious phrase. A search unhelpfully gave me a bunch of stuff about the plant. I guess it means overkill, or gilding the lily. Where did you get it?

Sure, but it isn't really about money anyway. That's the justification, and to ease the financial pain. The real point is keeping chains sharp without having to do anything, not having a disaster of partly used chains on the wall, and to not pay someone half the cost of a chain to make it sharp...

I didn't really know that was a thing. I'm pretty good on chain, but I'll keep my eyes open there, and maybe pick some up.
