I wish I had picked up on that myself. 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. Eric Lucas |
