Thanks.  It was not a cloudy kind of opacity.  I was reluctant to
sniff EtBr, although the thought did cross my mind.  It was
simply very, very dark, kind of a black-red, and in a 15ml
conical tube, this was surprising.  I had assumed that the
precipitate I witnessed in the wells was the RNA complexed
with EtBr, but like you, I have no evidence to back up this
notion.  Again, thanks for the input.
Sorry for the double post, too---don't know how that happened.
