what exactly is fire?
i thought it to be plasma
the net gave same old results of encyclopaedia.
then i found this really amazing site. and it really cleared all my queries…
i straightaway registered and now am a proud member of it.
thankzzz for such a fantabulous site…
Welcome to the SDMB, SHAMMBHAVI! Thanks for the kind words - we aim to please. Couple little things. First, we prefer that posters provide some hint in their thread title what the thread is about. While we’re always open to general effusions of praise, you were specifically complimenting Cecil’s “What exactly is fire?” column. I’ve taken the liberty of adding a few explanatory words. That brings us to point #2. Since other members won’t necessarily have any idea what item in the Master’s vast oeuvre you’re talking about, we recommend you provide a link. The simplest way is to dump in the URL per the following - the message board software automatically converts it into a hyperlink:

Thanks, and hope you enjoy life here at the SDMB.
