...did not provide any evidence to back up your claim. You still have not provided any. It is not my responsibility to look up evidence to support your claim; it is yours to provide it. Otherwise, you just sound like someone with a grudge against Steripen.
You're welcome to do as you will. I'm really not interested in wether or not you believe me. [shrug]
Of course I have a grudge against Steripen. A justifiable grudge.
Over time Steripen have admitted past errors in deed if not outright. And some of their products are worthwhile enough that I own some. But I do watch them more carefully than I might other companies w/a better history/reputation.
OTOH, you sound like a rabid Steripen apologist. Which not only brings your credibility into doubt in my mind but also makes me wonder if you have a vested interest in the outdoors industry or specifically Steripen.
If you say so, but I think it is
Please elaborate .... it sounds like you are admitting that you feel criticism of Steripen is an attack on you personally.
I also feel that MP1 is the best of the chemical treatments available even though it requires 4 hours against Cryptosporidium.
Nope. It may take up to 4 hrs. Look it up.
I do note, however, that you seem a little defensive about your choice of Micropur.
Not at all. Whatever gave you that idea?
In agreement, I wrote: "That's been my experience also. Which is why I simply choose MP1."
How is that defensive?
In sum, yes, you are entitled to your opinion. But, to be credible, you should be prepared to document your assertions.
You don't get it do you:
1) I am not going to do your research for you. It's your body. You're a grown man. Nuff said?
2) I don't have a dog in this fight. IOW; I couldn't care less what you or anyone else chooses to do about water treatment.
3) I couldn't care less whether or not you or anyone else believes me. My ego can handle your incredulity. And I do not have a vested interest in the outdoors industry.
I'll close w/an old Sherpa saying:
"Maybe true. Maybe not true. Better you believe."
BTW, my writing style and the nature of the Net may make my posts sound harsh. Naaah, always assume a calm, patient even kindly, tone unless I say otherwise. TIA for your consideration.
Peace,
