I'm starting to think she's a troll, just repeatedly lobbing up illogical
softballs and sitting back watching people hit them out of the park. I'd
think this, except I've seen her in other discussions on sci.* groups, some
of which spill over into sci.chem. But then again, her posts always seems
to have a complete lack of technical understanding or information, so maybe
she is just a troll.
