Don't be so prying next time.
If you guys are touchy feely sort of guys I am sorry but enough already with these E-MAILS with no productive substance. You are making a jackass out of yourself.
I was simply looking for some technical info on a chemical process when you Macdermid reps started sending me a barrage of unwanted solicitations. Steve Gregory<mailto:[log in to unmask]>

  James,

  Although I know Brian doesn't need me defending him. But James, I think you may have stuck your foot in your mouth.

  Brian is retired. But probably accomplishes more in his retirement than do most full-time working people.

  I suggest that you learn more about this man. Once you do, I think you will find that your comments were at the least, needless, and at the most, insulting.

  Steve

    As it happens, I'm ¼-way through developing a web site devoted to the
    problem of waste. It may be published in a couple of weeks or so. In the
    meantime, have a look at http://www.cypenv.org/worldenv/files/tridel.htm<http://www.cypenv.org/worldenv/files/tridel.htm<http://www.cypenv.org/worldenv/files/tridel.htm%3Chttp://www.cypenv.org/worldenv/files/tridel.htm>>
    - this describes the most modern implementation of a technology first
    developed in France in the 1920s and is used in odd spots in various
    countries. In the USA, I know Baltimore does it although I believe their
    plant is fairly old and polluting. There are probably many others. In
    contrast, Toronto ships many tens of tonnes of their garbage daily to
    Wayne County, Michigan, where it is landfilled at enormous cost to their
    citizens and enormous quantities of emitted pollutants.

    China is building some low-pollution waste-burning power stations near
    the big cities (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai etc.). Anyway, is it a sop
    to the USA that China produces more waste, when it has >4x the
    population? Surely the criterion is the per capita production, where the
    USA (and Cyprus) have the doubtful honour of being world champions!
