Hi Werner, and Joe, and IPC-LF Listserve. Sorry yet since Werner brought in the Germans and made me LAUGH I have to tell another story from History that I just love. It also can be tailored to these Directives. For those most serious please delete this note FAST!! A famous Greek from Athens decided to take a tour of the world around 550BC and wrote a journal. I don't have his name in front of me yet Croesus was King of Lydia and was also visited. When he got up to someplace in present day Germany he wrote that these were a queer lot of people including how they used Beer to make decisions. Normally they only made important decisions when under the influence and if for some reason they made a decision not under the influence they would make sure they reviewed it while under the divine brew. So maybe RoHS and WEEE are under the influence directives. DWUI (Directives While Under Influence. Now Werner might laugh, (Southern German I bet) yet many of my German friends would not be too happy with me so for them I will say I AM KIDDING, Laugh Please. I am serious Laugh... Remember I grew up in those Americas. Can I buy you a Lowenbrau or a - - -, Have a Happy, Werner, everyone. I do love the Arsenic starting note for this tread, since it has a strong touch of truth. Seriously the Directive does call for action on Cell Phones at the disposal site.
