You know exactly what it'll take to get me to do the experiment. Any
delay in my inflating a balloon is dependent upon your refusal or
inability to answer the question.

The longer you refuse to answer the question, the more it appears that
you don't have a clue what it is.

No, the discussion is clearly over your IQ. Smart people often seem
dumb to ignorant people.

Still stauling. Desperation taking over I see. You give up before even
starting?

Just answer the question and prove to me that you know what you're
talking about and I'm wrong. It's not my job to do experiments to
prove your ideas are right. To continue to insist that USENET works
that way borders on delusional.

For Avagadro's sake, just answer the question. Then you and I can
discuss mmol/mol and mg/L at STP. It'll be a gas!

Monty Python has Eric Idle. We are entertained here by Derek Idle.

Wisdom is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument
as one goes on. Get practicing.

What's the matter? Did "mmol/mol at STP" go over your head?

Suggestions that I need to practice from someone who's yet to prove he
can play a note don't count for much.

You apparently can't answer the question and are expecting me to
answer it for you. I know my answer. I'm not going to write yours for
you.

Sorry to disappoint you. Look on the bright side, you can probably see
reruns of Bozo the Clown on Youtube.

Lost your quotes? It was fun while it lasted. Yeah I've lost interest
in regurgitating trollisms back and forth. I just pass by on occasion
to see if someone is up to the challenge.

Sometimes. But helping obnoxious people demonstrate their ignorance
and hubris never gets old.

Discussion of mmol of dissolve gases per mol of sea water, or mg of
them per liter of sea water, isn't "offtopic trollism" just because
you miss the reference.

After all, on more than one occasion, we in this group have discussed
the effect of repeated boiling of water, the resulting deoxygenation
of that water, and its effect on flavor. Same concepts, different
issue.

When you've reduced yourself to commenting on randomly inserted quotes
in a .sig, accusations of "trollisms" provide indication of
projection.

When you're ready to support your own positions, come on back. I'll
likely still be reading R.F.D.T.

In case of fire, don't waste the energy. Put a kettle of water above
the flames .. and the rest is history.

I retested for high bacteria count in the bay area's drinking water
very carefully this time (to the hour and perfect temperature) with a
different test kit and results came out very negative.
