In a general forum perhaps the question needs to be more specific, but in the keris forum we are, by definition, discussing keris. While specific mention of keris is not made in Alan's proposed question, given the parameters of our discussion topics here i consider it implied.  |
Thanks David, and I agree. However, I was responding to Alan's firm admonition that his question was not about
keris, but rather about the
certain identification of meteoritic Fe-Ni.
