I agree. But I think we could do better to avoid it the next time
around by carrying on those discussions in political or environmental
forums, since while we're all trying to make this stuff work, the
politicians are busy passing laws about things they don't know enough
about, and the environmentalists are busy influencing politicians to
pass those types of laws.
My point is, (and I should have been clearer in my original response),
that the people we really need to convince this is a bad idea aren't in
this group; they are in political, environmental, and consumer groups.
I suggest we each corner an environmentalist and convince him or her
about the evils of lead-free solder.
'Nough said.

Quintin,
I share your concerns. It might be instructive, however, to understand
how we got into this mess to avoid doing it again, though I am
discouraged by the poor record of the human race to learn from its
mistakes.

Brian,
Sorry if I offended you, that wasn't my intent. I was merely trying to
avoid a discussion of why we're in this lead-free boat to begin with.
Since it's already upon us, it pretty much doesn't matter how we got
here, only how we get out. Hopefully the industry will be more
proactive the next time something like this comes up.
Again, my apologies.

I was not politicking. I made a statement of fact. I abhor scientific
obstruction or tampering from any party.

This is a technical forum. Can we PLEASE keep politics out of it?

Attempts to stifle research whose findings differ from a political
position have happened for a long time. The Bush administration has
been guilty of these activities to a far greater extent than previous US
administrations. I expect future administrations to be less likely to
stifle research, but I expect the practice to continue.

Hi Timothy,
Unfortunately you are wrong when you say "NIST has been doing good
things,
but they are a technical outfit somewhat shielded from the politics
(unfortunately, and fortunately)."
I know of good people that had to leave NIST because their technical
findings
in an investigation did not align with the prevalent political view.
Werner
