No Nate, you were simply being a pedantic little prick attempting to
deflect the core of the discussion with a bit of minutia. You had made
the statement that CFCs were mixtures. Mixtures and compounds are not
the same thing. I am aware that Freon is a registered trademark, but it
has become so generic that to the common man if you were to use the word
they instantly know what you are talking about. An excellent example of
this is to search E-Bay (tm) for Freon. Hundreds of hits for Freon-12
and Freon Sniffers, and Freon conversion kits. As an "Industry Insider"
you, of course, are daily exposed machinations of DuPont's legal
department is trying to reassert some level of branding.

As a final note, when I skin a knuckle working on my jeep, I put a
bandaid on it.
