While doing a bit of research I ran across the following pages and thought some of the more advanced members might find it interesting. While I understood more than I thought I would, it is clear to me that it is well over my head in technical jargon.

The second page is linked from the first page.

I would be interested in hearing any thoughts from those who had a better grasp of what is being said in the second link.

jimdoc, thanks for the search link. I found the exact reply I was looking for in this post by freechemist.

While I was looking for information on another subject, I ran across this and posted without searching the forum. I can be hardheaded when in search mode and forget to take the easy route at times. :oops:
