[TheForge] Copper vs. coronavirus

[Dave Mudge]

I am so happy to see TheForge is alive and well. Great conversations guys.
A word of caution though, remember that the robot that runs TheForge
doesn't like e-mails that are too long and will eventually not post them.
You can delete a lot of the older comments in the thread that you may be
replying to.
One other thing, (delicate subject) One of the participants in this thread
has a "signature"
that expresses his political and religious viewpoint. TheForge is not the
place for
political or religious comment. We have functioned very well for many years
in the absence
of those subjects. I hate to be a party pooper, but please remove that
signature from
posts to TheForge...
