Hi to both of you; I think the effect you described, Marshall, is called
Buffering.  Often it is purposely introduced into a compound (Bufferin, yes?) to
temper the action of some other part of the mix - usually the primary drug or
what-have-you.  About a year ago someone (Jim Bare at rifetech I think) posted a
link to a site with a description of various buffering solutions, how to make
them, what they'd be useful for, etc.
Take care, Malcolm
PS> Marshall I'm working on a response and questions to your reply to me, but
needed to check out some info, and got sidetracked --As Usual!
