RE: Ware/Malde-Ziatype-DOP palladium,was RE: "New" Paper for Pt/Pd (and other iron processes, too)

Unless that article has changed in the last ? 8 years, it is a very slanted
piece of salesmanship full of misrepresentations of process and or intent.
My recollection may be inaccurate, but I recall that it is fair and balanced
like Fox news.
