By and large I've tuned out your musings on this subject, ever since you claimed that:
1. Tricalcium Phosphate is equivalent to pumice
2. Tricalcium Phosphate is "full of iron"
3. It's illegal to sell volcanic ash (pumice)
Answers:
1. Im not publishing a paper, and maybe my experts do not care to have their phone lines set on fire just as yours do not. The information is there - look for it.
2. Read Tube, I typed out the specific questions I have asked to experts, to date. If you haven't seen them, then you have not done anything but skim my writing on this issue.
3. Again, Read - their answers are there for you to see - pretty much word for word. I am saving the best for last however -- nooo your gonna have to wait.
1. I dont remember saying TriCalcium Phosphate was the equivalent of pumice, anyway you told me if I could not find Volcanic Ash (living in Texas) then I should get a substance that was as close to the weight and consistency of Volcanic Ash - YOU NEVER ONCE said a thing about mineral content - that only came about recently.. This is what I was given at the Pottery Store.
Is Clay the same thing as Volcanic Ash? Humm...
2. When I am wrong I say so, I misunderstood that specific statement about iron (I did call that person back for clarification). So, shoot me I am human.. If thats the worst mistake I make...
Is that really a battle you want to pick? Choose better tube.
3. The only place you will get Volcanic Ash - that is pure ash, is from a Volcano (unless your claiming your Ash did not come from a Volcano) Now as I stated (many times and I will not state it again) it is illegal to take Volcanic Ash out of Gifford Pinchot National Forest. It does not take a rocket scientist to understand if you remove that substance from the park - it would also be illegal to ship, and the US Mail is federal. Would you like to play that legal game? I would strongly advise against that. Twist it all you want, but I could not find one store in Washington or Oregon that had Volcanic Ash in stock, and my only other option would be to take it from the Park. Your really making a big deal out of something a 16 year old can comprehend. Once again, your wrong - pick your battles better tube.. If you don't believe me call Gifford Pinchot National Forest yourself, they will be more than happy to tell you what I just did. You seem to think your the last word on everything - including the law, I was unaware you had a legal degree.. Speaking as a Paralegal - I know what side of the law I would prefer to be on.
You always have the option of doing some research yourself Tube.. Instead you chose to make these snotty comments - so your a "Do as I say, not as I do" kind of person? If a little work was ok for you to suggest, why is it so tough for you to do the same? I think your angry simply because you can not prove me wrong, Im still waiting for you to get your "artifacts" in the Onion Mountain Soil...
Attacking me wont make me stop my work - no more than it would you, and Im not sure why you would want that - if you are in fact after the truth either way it comes out.
