I must vigorously protest the horrid lack of reasoning at the 
disqualification.

(1) a number of animals such as small dogs, hamsters and pigeons go "poof" 

on a tin roof at 150C so that observation was not considered a defining 
characteristic unique to catnium; 

I did not claim that it was unique to catnium.  All of the creatures that 
you list are often the prey of cats and may have trace amounts of catnium. 
 You don't see bears or wolves on hot tin roofs going Poof. 

(2) Dave Hillman has never had to degauss a cat from Joan's refrigerator. 
He has been quoted to say "I love cats, I just can't eat a whole one" 
which  has gotten him in serious issues with Joan; 

I sense a cover-up here.  I know there is that third cat in the house that 
no one ever sees. It obviously runs in terror from you. I am pretty sure 
Joan said it was from one of Dave's experiments gone horribly wrong.

(3) Discussions with a number of Ion Chromatography experts (who shall 
remain nameless) provided this information " Technically Doug is analyzing 

for an ion using IC and not the element so that detail may be grounds for 
disqualification. More importantly, numerous IC experts maintain that 
catnium co-elutes with ammonium since they have very similar chemical 
properties and that separating the two requires additional techniques 
beyond IC.  Ludwig von Thermopolis Fischer wrote a paper entitled, "No 
CAT-P here", where he tried doing as Doug suggested.  He could not 
distinguish between ammonium and catnium, which is why most 
chromatographers don't even list catnium as a valid ion.  You might say 
that in the chromatography world ammonium has more stank on it.". 

I wanna know who the traitors are.  The Death Star has not been used for a 
while.  Dave you should know better than to argue chemistry with a 
chemist.   Ludwig was an idiot.  For years he claimed he could not detect 
catnium ions and it could not be separated out.  He kept injecting cation 
samples into his system that was setup for analyzing anions.  Yup, no 
cations here.  And that was back in 1982.  The columns today are much 
better and I have eluent structures that will do the separation.  Here, I 
will prove it.  I have attached my last calibration run. Catnium is 
clearly separable from ammonium. 

As to the argument that an ion is not the element, you have to be drunk. 
If I analyze a solution and see sodium ions, where do you think it came 
from?  Americium?  Sodium ions come from sodium, magnesium ions come from 
magnesium, cations come from cats, etc. 

I reject your rejection and am asking the court of public opinion to 
overturn the disqualification.  And you owe me a new Lame-O-Meter as your 
response broke the one I have.
