[Histonet] 4% paraformaldehyde all over again

[Smith, Allen]

It appears that Dr. Kiernan is another victim of Microsoft office 2007.  Could a users' coalition large enough to boycott it effectively be formed?

   There  is no such thing as 4% paraformaldehyde. Nobody can sell or
   us=uch  a  non-substance!<BR>See Histonet archives passim ad
   nauseam.=6nbsp;&nbsp;(That's  how  the  ancient  Romans
   said,  in  3  words,=2on  and on, until&nbsp;you want to
   vomit".   Latin   is   concise=<BR>&nbsp;<BR>4%
   formaldehyde is a real solution, and =e of the ways of making the
   solution  is  to  heat  40 grammes of&nbsp;=raformaldehyde in a
   litre  of  water,  with  an  alkaline  catalyst  to  sp?d up the
   hydrolysis.  Paraformaldehyde  exists only as a solid substan?,
   which  is  insoluble  in water.&nbsp; All this has been in all    the textbooks and manuals for 40+ years.
