Leo, you hit on a good idea with the AARP suggestion. There are probably
quite a few folks there that would get upset if they found out somebody
was trying to take the lead out of their pencil.

.......that's it. We need a celebrity to endorse this
issue...........maybe George Cooney, Bono, or Angeline Jolie would take
it up. This is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but any increase visibility to
the general public would be a serious help. I tried to explain all the
issues and concerns to my 82 year old father and he got the picture.
But this one-at-a-time messaging will not have an impact. If
influential organizations developed an understanding and started pushing
(like AARP, IEEE, Consumer Reports,
etc.)
maybe we could achieve a real multiplier effect and have people
expressing concerns to unknowing government representatives.
Best regards,

Hello all,
I think what John has done is really quite remarkable. In
considerably less than a month he has captured the attention of the
electronics manufacturing world, and beyond. I do not even know how to
set up a web site. Thank you, John.
In the end, the only truly objective rationale for all of this
brouhaha is that we all want to make sure that we continue to
manufacture very reliable electronic products and simultaneously watch
out for our environment. That, I think, is the beauty of John's work,
and all of the TechNet contributors. Despite all of the hard work and
money spent by electronics manufacturers of every ilk, if we "had to" go
back to BOMs and processes for electronics manufacturing with SnPb
solder, I suspect few of us would choose to stay with the PbFree
'solutions', or half-baked solutions. It really has made it difficult
for all and the very real threat of decreased reliability and a more
negative impact on the environment really hurts, both professionally and
ethically.
I do not want to be associated in any way with the failure of the
first electronic device that causes the loss of a human life simply
because of this inappropriate surge to be lead free. It may have once
been politically correct, but in this decade this is no longer
acceptable.
Thank you, John, and all of TechNet. It is really quite exciting
to see the ground-swell associated with this Push Back movement.
Neil Young has a new album. I have only heard one song, a cry for
a leader, and it reminds me of his "Ohio" song, the lament for Kent
State.
It
is quite moving, but then again I am a child of the 60's. Maybe we
should contact him.........
Best regards,
Leo

Did you see what I put up on the RoHSUSA web site front page banner? if
you let it run through all of the updates it reads:
"......be heard, stand up and be counted, support what you believe in,
and never let the thought "what can I do alone" even enter your
head........."

Hi John,
I second Ahne's comments.
Their are still too many folks out there who have resigned themselves
to
say: "The train has left the station". However, if the train is headed
for a cliff, we can still apply the brakes.
Keep up the good work.
Very best,
Joe
