[edit] Greetings and compliments

Your editing of chem articles is noticed and very welcome. I am impressed by your industrial chemical knowledge, such as the cracking of limonene to give isoprene. In general, smaller, detailed edits such as yours are the most valuable. Chemical editors discuss technical and style themes at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemicals, in case you have questions.--Smokefoot (talk) 00:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the Info

I'm glad to be of help.

[edit] Fluoridation

I saw your inquiry about adding comments on the fluoridation controversy - User:Rifleman 82 gave some useful advice. The most rancorous topics have "controversy sites," that provide a forum (or dumping ground, depending on your perspective) for these hot topics. You will discover that Wikipedia is a favored trans-national platform for controversy "enthusiasts," as well as a handful of troll-like fanatics and chemo-phobic whackos who want to rant about various phenomena. So feel no urgency to discuss controversies (Water fluoridation opposition, cold fusion, Water-fuelled cars, polywater, intelligent design): others will do that for you! Of course, these views are from just one editor. You do what you want, but given your knowledge, I hope that you continue to contribute to the facts on how stuff is made and what its good for. Others less technically knowledgebale will always fill in the drama. They keep us in line, to some extent, by reminding us of cultural relevancy, and we keep them in line, by reminding them of the facts. For example, what exactly is H₂SiF₆? Probably not a molecule, but the article does not discuss its real nature. Cheers,--Smokefoot (talk) 17:52, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
