Thanks Mark.

Unfortunately, while the article identifies what may  be a legitimate
concern, this is the kind of story that has been  repeatedly used by those seeking to
prop up lead-free solder for  electronics even though it which has a zero
relationship beyond the  use of the element's name in the article.

That said, I wish that these folks would provide links to the papers when
they publish conclusions without data rather than make one  dig or ask for them.
I think it of benefit to see their  methods and data to understand how they
came to their findings. I have seen  too much shoddy research in my life to be
comfortable with conclusions  alone.

I guess they don't think "us poor country folks" are smart enough and would
like to treat us sort of like the politicians do.  ;-)

Kind regards,
Joe
