Why would ethanol be any safer than isopropyl? I would think it has
many similar characteristics.
I agree with Phil. If you were going to buy ethanol, you might as well go to
the store and buy something from the liquor shops, some nice everclear.
Did Rick W. post the note about calculating the distance dependence of the
light intensity of a fluorescent tube? I have a few questions about his
mathematics. I think he's out of town. Or did someone else post it?
Jim C.: No, I don't think (or at least I hope) you don't have to lecture
anyone in this group about the importance of following CITES
restrictions. I uphold and honor these rules 100%, sort of. I append
the qualifier "sort of" because I don't deal with field collected
plants. But I do have a lot of CITES protected plants in my Greenhouse,
which I propagate as efficiently as possible. So I think that when I
distribute seed of these plants, or greenhouse grown live plants
domestically, I may occasionally violate the letter of CITES while
observing its spirit. I think it would be absolutely reprehensible to
collect such plants from the wild.
While we're on the subject of Kinabalu, what is that mountain's preservation
status? Is it being logged? Is it a national park? Will it be there in a
decade, or will it be a cow-farm?
