Tsk tsk tsk.

pH 7.5 to 8.5 is hardly acid. 

So?
I wrote "_a_ stone" and "_possible_ acidic soil"
because we were talking about differences
between stones in the open and buried stones.
Try to keep up Eric.


If I take your remark at face value, you don't actually know the
soil pH and hence have been throwing the full range of
possibilities into the argument. Are you just filling in time?


Reread what I wrote. What soil are you talking about?

You don't know the pH and you are just filling in time.

I am _wasting_ my time with you.

Everybodies ... 

But, despite the fact that I mentioned natural
weathering in my last reply, we were talking
about the possible eroding effect of cleaning
runestones with a steel brush and caustic soda.


All kinds of unbelievable things have been done to
the KRS but never steel brushes or caustic soda as
far as I know.

Yes, as far as you know.

And you have no idea at all.

I was not talking about the krs. 

But I was. Just parse my sentence to which you responded. So, what
did you really think you were saying?


You responded to somthing I said to Inger,
and that was not about the krs.


"All kinds of unbelievable things have been done to the KRS but never
steel brushes or caustic soda as far as I know." is not about the KRS?


You said that, not me.

I'm giving up on this. 

I did that already

Its obviously pointless. 

Yes, you are the master of poinlessnes.
