Dear Clayarters,

I am frequently frustrated when I come across recipes that do not
indicate whether they are oxidation or reduction. This usually happens
when someone is replying to a question and they list the formula but
nothing else and the original message is not reprinted. PLEASE list
the cone and the firing type (O or R) any time you are printing a
formula. Thank you.
