If you want an argument, change the subject.

Brass is strictly a no-no in my yard since in the marine environment,
sea water will leach out the zinc.

As a result, any brass or steel fasteners that come with hardware just
get tossed in the trash.

When it comes to fasteners, it's bronze or S/S for me since they
usually represent a relatively small part of the total cost of a project.
