No problem.

I had this discussion with someone the other night. My feeling is that anything (even household items) that can be mixed to kill 20-80,000 is a WMD.

Fertilizer was used in the OKC bombing but that didn't make it less than a WMD, but maybe I'm using the term too loosely.

Anyway, stay well. It's always good to see your posts. You wrote an excellent one the other day.

HAH!!! Gotcha!!! You better get rid of the WMD precursors you have in your house (I'll betcha anything...)

...

Too easy ... by that, I mean, never mix ammonia and bleach (or worse, pool chemicals) together. Chlorine gas is liberated. That is acknowledged to be the "chemical weapon" first used by the Germans in WWI (I think it killed more of them than the enemy) but very few military experts would classify ammonia and bleach as WMD precursors today.

Not too many would truly classify an abacus or slide rule as a computer, either, or a horse or ramp as labor-saving devices ... Ahh - ain't the progress of technology great!

Oh, thanks for the compliment about that post the other day. It is amazing how much we are able to help each other comprehend things here at FR, and that was simply my day for doing the helping.

I'm always intrigued by the way some other posts are totally uncommented on by the person addressed... such as my post#30 this thread. Can't help but wonder which of the several most likely reasons is in effect at those times.
