- As an atomic physicist I must strongly protest such a division. The
- *IMPORTANT* calacateristics of cesium are *ATOMIC*!!! The proposed split
- demonstrates the narrow, nucleo-centric mind-set that has dominated this
- newsgroup for far too long!
-
- The appropriate split should be:
-
- alt.cesium.ions
- alt.cesium.neutals
