      hocl?

      *I only ask this as I knew someone who claimed to be an inventor of this and well…I listened quite a bit on the whole bit. I liked them a lot, but we sort of parted ways at some point. But I thought they were good people. I just think about this…chemical compound (I guess you’d call it) from time to time because of them. But also see it sometimes listed on things nowadays.
