But hard-boiled eggs are de rigueur in classic potato
salad. Sheesh! I could see if you don't like hard-boiled
eggs at all, but I if you like them I can't see how you
wouldn't want them in potato salad. Now the pickle juice
and mustard - that's another story. Blecch! :-)

That sounds good. I guess I just like hard-boiled eggs
just about any way, any where, any time.
