In case a few of us missed the point... The title "John The Triumphant" is a PERFECT Deweyism (sp?) because John Burke rides a TRIUMPH motorcycle.... A mind is a serious thing to waste... :-) Rudy Sedlak "Whittaker, Dewey (EHCOE)" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: I have been out of town on a motorcycle trip and just now saw the postings. Congratulations and wonderful work. Not only have you given the Industry new hope, but without becoming maudlin about it for fear that my friends will think there is a sensitive side to what they call the vast wasteland of my collective intellect; you have caused me to reflect on my own cynicism. If this all works out and there is a coronation, you posting has given us the name; John the Triumphant.

My "present" is that I get to spend Sunday afternoon touring around the Santa Clara locale with my wife - we bought her a Triumph Bonneville America (what else!) two weeks ago and she is practicing to get her license - so if you see a couple of bikers in that area with the registrations "VERYQIK" and "SBUXROX" try to avoid em..........................

It's their job to say black when things are white. Due diligence is just something they dally with to build plausible deniability... Color me "a skeptic", but I applauded John on his "junk yard dog" approach (i.e. biting them in the ankle and not letting go). It might have a chance of stopping this madness before it goes too far and people die because of it.

Funny thing about all this is, from what I can understand, (and that's not a lot sometimes! :-) ) you basically shoved there own documents THEY wrote in their face and said READ WHAT YOU SAID! Now all they have to do is DO IT! :-) Facts are facts. I wonder if they say black when it's white too? Joe, I think the award should be the John B award for "Due Diligence" and a John B certificate for tenacity! :-) John, I would want to be a Badger, you might kick my a$$!!! :-) and if so, at least I could say the ground I was living in was free from bad chemicals! :-O Keep it up John... -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Joe Fjelstad Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 10:01 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] [LF] Due diligence on Article 5(1)(b) exemption requests for RoHS - 2004 Bravo John! Fantastic piece of fine investigative work. It is difficult to argue with cold hard facts. I believe that the entire electronics industry should bestow a special recognition award to you for your efforts on its behalf and on that of the planet. Very best regards and wishes, Joe. --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- How low will we go?
