Theo,
I think you may have hit on the reason for certain, what we might tactfully
call, "peculiarities" in the Laifman's postings. Maybe the medical
community would be interested in studying the long-term effects of
isopropyl alcohol consumption on humans. Kind of reminds me of the joke
about the dog drinking gasoline; wonder when Steve is going to run out of
alcohol?? Most disturbing is the fact that, to most of us anyway, isopropyl
alcohol tastes worse than ethylene glycol which, last time I looked, was an
ingredient in my favorite soft drink.
Have a nice day (you too Steve ;>)
Bob
