Dear St. Anthony:

The way things work is that people who possess 
certain knowledge share it with others - and take
responsibility for what they share. Your
half-cooked attempts at research into neurochemistry
that you try to mask by putting a smoke screen of
some legitimate mechanistic questions, are too easy to
see through for _any_ organic chemist.  If you were a
little more mature (or, when you are), you would (will?)
understand the reasons for our reluctance to help you.
For similar reasons, it is not easy to reconstruct the 
nuclear weapons from public records, although some
'amateurs' would scour all the available sources to have
some fun in their basements. Have fun on your own.

As for your New Jersey jab, we've seen here more than
our share of problems because of an irresponsible
treatment of chemistry-related issues; that's why we
should be particularly cautious.

Tony
