Pete the Chemical Engineer would like to chime in and support Beth. =

Beth the chemist would like to take this opportunity to formally =
register a protest against the use of the word "chemical" as a =
pejorative, on the grounds that it degrades her honorable profession. =
We chemists are at enough of a social disadvantage without that. And =
may I point out that most chemists are sensible enough to complete our =
education while still young, so that we don't have to write papers at an =
advanced age.
