I must vigorously protest.  Your statement - " finds no indications of a
connection to Mrs. Midgley" is preposterous.  Are you claiming that Thomas
Midgley came into being without a mother?  Just poof and he was there?
 That is right up there with "are you suggesting coconuts migrate?".  I
think this is proof positive that Diet Coke has Ethylium and at a much
higher percentage than Diet Dew.

And why have Bev do it?  While his expertise is unmatched in this area, I
have IC equipment.  I am sure you can trust my completely unbiased and
objective findings......
