    Dave - I am an "organic" gardener. In my little gardening group we always used the word "organic" to mean things of the earth...things found in nature that are not man-made. Then, some stickler from the "University" came in and lectured and insisted that organic meant that it had carbon in it...still trying to figure out the difference.

    Or, to be really geeky, carbon and hydrogen. Diamonds are all carbon but aren't considered an organic compound.

    Ammonia, on the other hand, has no carbon in it yet it reacts with chlorine and falls within the group of 'organics' for purposes of this discussion.

    I'm splitting hairs, aren't I?
