Then polish up the rims and relace and tension the wheels correctly.
You guys are starting to come up with a lot more work than I was hoping for.
I had pretty much decided to leave it. But, like someone said, it'll probably always bug me. So while rubbing my index finger raw polishing the rim I decided what the heck. Undid the spoke and laced it behind the other, and re-tensioned it. Re-tensioned all of the spokes as the wheel turned out to be a little dished to one side. Tweaked here and there for true and it's fine. I guess I could have just done that in the first place rather than start this silly thread, but I appreciate all the good input nevertheless. Thanks.
