Dave, According to "single fire wall" response - my computer record time, Doug's right answer showed up one min. after you posted question and Leland's answer dated two min. after. Did your "double fire wall" - assume doug's mail required both go through fire wall 2x "send/recieve", causes delay, I vote Doug to be the winner. Besides, what is the difference between the "right answer" vs "right response"? I need few of your burger king's "Hamberders" to smart up... thx in advance. jk On Jan 18, 2019, at 3:08 PM, David Hillman wrote: > The Question: > > The pure form of this element was not achieved until 1937 and > commercial > applications did not occur until the 1970's.
