In the discussion about salty precipitation (which Paghat claimed
does not exist), "what I dug up" was Australian Govt research by the
Western Australia Dept of Agriculture, proving it does.

I cited the Australian site, as proof that coastal precipitation A)
does contain salt and B) does deposit that salt on land. Note, I
described, above, heavily salt-laden rain and wind.

These are incontrovertible sources of information, Ann. Not my
opinion, not something I invented.

Tell us about how switching from drinking rain water to drinking sea
water is going since you have proved they are the same. By the way I
bear no responsibility for your demise or funeral costs, try billing
that to the Australian Government agency you are quoting.
