Rick,
I seem to have upset the folk on this newsgroup with my reply to you.  I
gather it has something to do with the attachment I added.  The
moderator seems to have removed my message as a result.

I apologise to other folk who use this newsgroup.  I was just trying to
help out someone who requested assistance with a microbiological
question.
