It would seem that you are making up concepts, attributing them to me, and then arguing against them. I do take exception to having my words twisted into unrecognizable and inaccurate statements and then being attributed to me. It is clear to me that no useful purpose is being served by further exchange. frank key ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Monett" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 12:25 AM Subject: Re: CS> H2O2, ag(+), NaCl > url: http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m60983.html > Re: CS> H2O2, ag(+), NaCl > From: colloidal.silver > Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2003 08:24:34 > > > Hello Mike Monett... > > > I think you are sincerely working to further C.S. knowledge... > > However, I have seen you repeatedly criticize very knowledgeable > > people on this list (out of context)...
