itstoohot,

Thanks for your kind words.
Sometimes humor is birthed by adversity. Laugh to keep from crying.
However, I can say that, in hindsight, I have:
  • a greater understanding of water chemistry (it's much simpler than I was making it...), and
  • a great deal more respect and gratitude for those individuals that challenged me to move beyond my skepticism and my concern for my own health (I think my wife really was going to kill me...), and endure to the triumphant victory over algae.

I, bgray, do hereby vow to live by the BBB credo.
