"Steve I think your comprehension is poor. Neither Kendall or I said that oxygen was narcotic. All we said was that their is a possibility."
John, I think my comprehension is just fine. You state oxygen should be or that in generally accepted guide lines oxygen is more narcotic than nitrogen. I think I have every right right to challenge questionable/foolish statements in order to clearify issues that may mislead people. Tough if you can't handle it, put me in your kill file. Backup your statements or retract them. If you can back them up I will appologize.
