  This is fantastic! We are now back to forming a hypothesis, a simple
  experiment to test it, then the inevitable follow-on hypothesis.

  Don't forget, somewhere along the line we need to write the balanced
  equations that  show where the charges come from and where  they go.
  No theory  is worth much without the balanced  equations  to support
  it.

  This is what we should be doing. It is only way we will  learn about
  this wonderful gift from the Gods!

  Thanks, Marshall and Ken.

Best Wishes,
