You wrote: Easy now. You've confused Moly and Maggie! (See lists, IV.) The handy mneumonic is to remember that "Moly" is the magic herb (sweetheart of Hammerstone), Maggie is the metal.

I'm new to the mailing list, so ignore this is someone has already pointed it out. Moly may be a magic herb, but it's the diminutive of Molybdenum which is also a (transition) metal, no. 42 in periodic table, and thus a suitable chem name. ____________________________________________________________ Kieran Cleary Senior Research Engineer North West Labs Finisklin Industrial Estate Sligo Republic of Ireland Tel. +353 71 69441 Fax. +353 71 69451 email kcleary at tinet.ie ___________________________________________________________ Questions or problems to whorl-owner at lists.best.com
