Hi Tom and List members,

I am only responding because a problem seems to be developing here. Mike
Farmer claims scientists are wasting their time on this material and that
this is a waste of bandwidth on the List. The scientists are the ones who
dispatched us to bring this material to them. The University of Washington
is studying this material own their own and we are simply assisting by
bringing material in. If you look at the archives I did not initiate this
"Elma status" chain, I simply responded to a question. You propagated this
long string by asking several questions which were posted to the list.
Since they were posted to the List I responded publicly. If this means I am
wasting bandwidth you are just as guilty by posting questions to the list.

If this is what the List members want. I will simply will not post future
results obtained in the lab regarding this material, pretty simple, no need
for you and Mike to get nasty.

All the best,

Adam
