Hmmm, by my count, Rosalie stacked up 11 contributions, and Dave was
close behind with 9 to this playg...er.. thread.

And how many of those 9 argued for or against the proposition that melting
lead to make a sounding lead would create lead dust, as opposed to the
validity of the argument being made for that proposition.

I used the phrase "the substance of" for good reason. The distinction is
apparently too subtle for your comprehension.



Hmmm....not only willing to conduct an extensive two-way ..er..
dialog, but able to make distinctions too subtle for my
comprehension.... That will show me - for importing
actual data of the numeric or scientific kind into this very special
dialog.
