I have already pointed my friend to the articles you mentioned and have read them myself several times, again its great information. This is one reason I do not like posting. Its hard to know someone's background or their experience level with these issues. I know you did not know this information and were trying to help.
I agree. It is an issue I deal with many times per day. The backgrounds of folks posting in this forum range from those wondering whether to replace evaporation with salt or fresh water, to those experienced chemists that are wondering about the relative incorporaton rates of different isotopes of strontium into coral skeletons as a function of temperature. I often have no way of knowing where on that spectrum any individual poster falls.
I hope that my post did not insult you. Please understand that things that I post are also often directed at others that read the thread, and not just the poster himself.
