I thought UseNet convention was for the claimant to provide the proof,by a
cite or a link to the cite,not to tell the doubter to search themselves?
IOW,the one who claims "corrosion creates Hydrogen embrittlement" should
provide the specific proof,in a cite. If the page cited is large,then the
citer should post the relevant part.
O course,the OP's wording did not specifically claim "corrosion created the
embrittlement",just that "embrittlement was a problem with SS".
