Dmitri,
As others before me I tried to explain to you that the simplistic
definition of "unique molecule"
is rather naive and is neither useful nor reflects reality. Perhaps my
explanation is woefully inadequate to convey
the meaning I would like to convey but that is no excuse to reply with
rudeness and condescension.
If you are unable to present your arguments in a civilized manner then
please cease this discussion.
Best regards,
Igor
