buzz,
I find the internet next to useless for such endeavors. I only try to present information that can be documented. My interest lies in research more than proselytization.
I do take exception to this forum. As in general most of us are here to learn. Many of us have learned by listening to those here. I consider Miller, Daryl, Raimey, Marc and others to be much more knowledgeable.
Thanks for considering me an "expert". It is more than I think of myself. I am simply a student who is willing to learn and share.

Pete: Have you ever thought of being a politician? Your answer to my question re 'rust between the welds' was absolutely evaded. Bill Clinton couldn't have done a better job of dodging the question. And you are right too about all the bullshit here. But unlike some of you, most of us do not have a PhD in physics or metallurgy and we are just trying to understand this damascus conundrum in layman terms. So Pete, since you are an expert, I'm asking you again to scientifically prove to us that rusting does not occur in the welds of Damascus steel, particularly that which is over 100 years old.
