Hi folks,

Thought I'd step in here before things deteriorated. Thanks to the 
couple of you who gave me a heads-up on the situation.

D. Glover,

First, I think you've mis-connected two different folks. Neville, with 
whom you seem to have a disagreement, is NOT the fellow who mentioned 
the meter that he sells. That's Trem Williams, a seasoned member of the 
list and one of the very small handful of manufacturers of CS 
generators who has proven over the years to be temperamentally suited 
to long-term participation in our group. He shares what he knows 
without undue self-promotion, and his input is *always* welcome.

Neville doesn't sell anything as far as I know. He's just a "punter", 
as he describes it, like most of us on the list. <grin>

The point he was making is that our interests here tend to gravitate 
towards a simpler, home-user approach that does not demand the strict 
reproduceability or demanding production standards that hospital use 
would. I make my CS on the kitchen table in a quart canning jar, and it 
works just fine, thank you!

I've had to crack the whip over Neville once or twice in the past for 
his less-than-diplomatic approach, and this may be the latest occasion 
for me to do just that. but I think it could be very valuable to you to 
realize that for the people on this list, in terms of the consensus of 
nearly a decade and a half of experience and study, a couple of the 
things you have taken to be true are not applicable to the kind of CS 
preparation we are talking about here.

Our more technically inclined members have, over time, gravitated 
towards a lower current density for production than you're using -- 
high surface area, low current, longer brew time. The result, i.e., 
what Neville is labelling as "properly made" CS, does NOT require 
storage in the dark, appears to NOT be effected by magnets, remains 
stable for months and even years (after a couple of days to stabilize 
its composition), and has proven for hundreds of users to be perfectly 
effective and functional.

And if you inquire, I'm sure one or more of our resident experts will 
share their best understanding of exactly what it is that's made by 
this process and why it appears to be stable and effective.

Admittedly, given the state of public- and corporate-funded research in 
this world, the CS we make is not anywhere near as well characterized 
or it's activitiy as fully understood as we'd all  like, but I'm sure 
that's a situation with which you are *very* familiar. We have some 
pretty good guesses, though, as you will find if you ask.

Neville? Please don't impute motives to Mr. Glover that obviously don't 
apply. He's not selling anything and does not intend to mislead 
anybody. And your tone can be enough to get anybody's "back up", so 
don't take that as further "proof" of said ulterior motives.

Meanwhile, Mr. Glover, please understand that an important PART of the 
mission of this list is to encourage new folks to make and use their 
own CS, and that the extra effort you expend in your production process 
would only serve to discourage the average new person from even 
attempting it. While I appreciate and respect the virtues of the 
generator design you've developed, I'd rather a hundred folks make it 
in a jar on the kitchen counter than only one of them surviving to 
implement the level of production controls that you have.

Once they've got something that works, they can always improve things 
later, right?

As for the list mission, it most certainly includes anything you'd care 
to share with us as to clinical applications and results you've managed 
to facilitate. That kind of experience is priceless, and I wish you the 
best of success in your efforts.

So, can we declare a truce and perhaps initiate a new process of mining 
the brain trust here, for everyone's benefit?

Peace,

Mike D.
