In reading your email, I might understand the points you're trying make
if I really believed that this whole Lead Free debacle was "legitimate"
to begin with...

I support everything that John Burke and anyone else that is trying to
turn this thing around is doing.

John,

I am politically neutral in this argument and these issues do need to be
aired albeit belatedly. However, people need to think carefully about
applying/supporting exemptions as this may result in the delaying of
"legitimate" applications for exemptions if not the collapse of the
whole exemption system.
