well, like wow.  when I get frustrated with my boards that are screwed up 
without lead, I go play hockey or wakeboard, dude!  

(pangs of insignificance creeping in)

I'm something of an amatuer tree hugger.   Between recycling, composting, 
and not consuming I throw out next to nothing.  I bring my own bags to the 
store, I bike to work.  But I'm afraid RoHS has finally jaded me to 
government "environmental" efforts.  The A/C compressor on my truck needed 
replacing.  I was ready to wait 2 days and pay $100 to have the 
R134a "captured", to do the right thing.  Then I realized that the 
tetrafluoroethane that the EPA requires repair shops (and only repair shops) to 
capture is exactly the same substance used in computer dusters and air 
horns - both intended to be released.  I really didn't feel bad when that 
screwdriver accidently got stuck in the refill port.  I actually felt more 
frustrated that others fall for the chicken little routine.
