Well crap. Boy do I have egg on my face! <@=^B

That's exactly what I was reading I think. I even remember telling myself 
long ago to not get those confused...

Wish I'd gotten my chemistry degree when I had the chance. I'm halfway 
there. If I go back it'll have to be for something else now with /my/ liver. 
Actually I got all my lab classes in. A chemistry-informatics degree would 
be fun - I was always better at library work than lab work anyway.
