A search of MaDMaX's posts referencing 'over*gas*' actually did not turn up but a single post waaay back in '00 where he asked whether or not it was possible.
I can't believe it, but MaDMaX is telling the truth. Damnit. What are the odds? C'mon, really?
noj- that's a great idea but I don't think that I would be able to hold on to that much, or any amount, of freebase for a single day after I dispose of the other 90%. It's all a matter of willpower, and that's something I most definitately lack when it comes to drugs.
Just so there is no lingering misunderstanding here..... Most if not all of my criticisms are playful nothingness. The original criticism in itself was not a negative one at all, simply factoring in the likelyhood of never over-gassing a freebase solution due to low yeilds. This is a part of the normal trial and error that is inherent to this feild that virtually no one is above. And, it proved to be correct that MaDMaX has done an overgassing, which I have done no doubt tenfold. I simply could not have imagined that such an avid and knowledgeable reader of this forum would be unaware of the definition of a topic which is covered many times over here. Perhaps I misread MaDMaX's tone when I interpreted his post as more of a joke, and perhaps the tone of my own post was obscured by this misunderstanding so readers might interpret it as a negative comment. I apologize for any misunderstanding. One can easily see the logic behind the assumption which caused the error,i.e- factoring out such unlikely occurences as MaDMAx actually not knowing something. If anything one should recognize this overestimation and how it reflects my statements as more of an indirect compliment than a criticism. I normally would not go in to such depth over such technical somantic nothingness, but I am relatively certain that I read the tone of the posts following mine quite clearly and would like to prevent any further misunderstanding of that regard.
WARNING - DO NOT TAKE THIS PERSON SERIOUSLY. NO, SERIOUSLY THOUGH.
