Kate, you are over thinking this and not giving our members enough credit.

I'm certain everyone knows the difference.

They say that some things go without being said, but I wanted to make sure this was said - the charcoal being referrenced to in all these posts is *activated* charcoal. What's the difference, you say? Activated charcoal is more porous than what they call "block charcoal" - like the plain ol' kind you'd use in your BBQ grill.  That makes it's composition completely different.

   If I find the article again comparing the two, I will post it.

                                           Thanks,
