Doesn't bother me that someone might want to have it done or perceive
some value in doing so, but if I were buying something, I'd want to know
if this was done, just like I would want to know if a cone had been
"weatherized"... I sort of see this "sealer" service in the same vein... there
may well be legitimate reasons for having it done, they're just outside of my
personal intended use and need.
