The main reason I was and still am ticked is because I suggested to Bob, Allan, Fraser and Graham on several occasions that more caustic work should be done on the mud lake sample...... many occasions.
Before it was dug up, when it was exposed, when it was bagged... and every time they told me it was redundent...... Turns out I was right and they were wrong to assume that everything would go off without a hitch ... and likely explains why they didn't give me the courtousy of a phone call.
If they had done that there would be no doubt that either the process was flawed or the results are consistant.....
