   Hi Poutnik,   
      
   Since you're an adult, I will again _try_ to get my point across to you.   
   o If you were nospam, I would give up because he's not an adult.   
      
   Since you're well educated, I will let you know emphatically that so am I.   
   o I've taken inorganic, organic, & biochemistry, for example, in college.   
   (Morrison & Boyd, for example, was my organic chem book I'll never forget!)   
      
   Look at these "chemistry" examples to illustrate my point.   
      
   *This example has "pros" and "cons"*   
   a. Purpose: Solvent to remove "an ink stain" from "a plastic" material.   
   o Solvent #1 === an Alcohol (e.g., ethyl alcohol, 95%)   
   o Solvent #2 === an Aromatic Hydrocarbon (e.g., benzene)   
      
   *This example does NOT have "pros" and "cons"*   
   a. Purpose: You want a "fuel" to "burn" in a balloon floating in air (given   
   spark)   
   o Fuel #1 === Hydrogen   
   o Fuel #2 === Helium   
      
   Allow me to give you another set of examples, Poutnik, to illustrate:   
      
   *This example has "pros" and "cons"*   
   a. Purpose: Cut down a tree   
   o Tool #1 === a handsaw   
   o Tool #2 === a chainsaw   
      
   *This example does NOT have "pros" and "cons"*   
   a. Purpose: Cut down a tree   
   o Tool #1 === a spoon   
   o Tool #2 === a chainsaw   
      
   My point is very simple, Poutnik, so I don't expect nospam to comprehend.   
   o But I do expect adults to comprehend my point   
      
   It's fine if you _disagree_ with my point; but you must understand first   
   o If you don't understand, then you can't disagree or agree   
      
   Do you agree that if your purpose is to "burn" something, then using   
   hydrogen mixed with air will burn and yet using helium mixed with air will   
   NOT burn?   
      
   If you can _understand_ that chemistry argument, then you can understand   
   why I say that there are NO PROS to using helium if what you want the   
   helium to do is burn.   
      
   What nospam _says_ is that there are pros and cons to using helium versus   
   hydrogen to burn a balloon floating in air, where I'm saying there are only   
   cons to using helium for that purpose. There are no pros.
