Re: More anatase

"The occurrence of titanium minerals in soils is generally minor.
Estimations of amounts vary; the majority of soils worldwide contain < 1%
titanium. This is usually in the form of anatase, brookite, rutile,
ilmenite, or sphene. Quantities of up to 25% (TiO2) have been reported for
certain size fractions from Hawaiian soils (Sherman, 1952). Significant
quantities have also been reported in the A horizons of peaty Podzols from
Ireland and Scotland (Bain, 1976)."

Inger E 

Johansson,

Don't give us this bull***. It has nothing whatsoever to say about the size of the anatase particles. In fact, it mentions anatase exactly *once*; you have quoted it; and it is useless bull***.

You have been asked to provide the evidence for your assertions about anatase of the proper size and form, and uniformity, in the sands and clays you've maundered on about. You have failed to do so; and the above is a insult to those actually trying to understand the facts of the case.

If this is the best you've got, please do us all a favor and don't post any more on anatase. If you can't tell us even the smallest bit about the articles you tell us are upcoming (e.g., author(s), article title--working title is sufficient, and/or probable journal the article will be submitted to) then shut the hell up about it. Without that info, it just doesn't exist as far as any of us here are concerned.
