I read the opinion, Joe. From the industry, thank you for throwing this
knockout punch.

It is concise, to the point, wholly accurate, and very informative to
the general public.
I suggest it be forwarded to the newspaper in rebuttal of the rubbish
written by Geoffrey Lean. The public deserves to be more accurately
informed on this topic.

Greetings folks,

The timing of this thread is impeccable.

Electronics Business editorial staff realizing that there was another
side to the RoHS story as July 1 approached and asked for an  opinion
relative to lead-free and I obliged them. The commentary,  written a few
weeks ago, published today.

I consider a great many of you, wise, prudent and  savvy scientists and
engineers of this forum, to be coauthors for this  piece. This comes by
way of the many thoughts and comments you  have made and which both
inspired and became parts of this brief summary  and I herewith thank
you all for your shared thoughts on this important topic  over the last
few years.

BTW  The editorial staff of EB chose the title for the  commentary. It
appears that they understood the message quite well.

Best regards and wishes,
Joe
