With respect to Lead in electronics, there are few precedents for a logical response to a logical campaign. "All lead is bad, ban it" generally out weighs "Better, cheaper, safer, reliable, keep it" Were you to take up the cause you would most likely be dismissed as unqualified and speaking for vested industrial interests. Suggest forgetting it and getting on with your life, which is what I now propose to do! :) Regards Mike -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Gary Crowell Sent: Sunday, July 24, 2011 11:01 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Lead Free solder has performed well... Ok, so here's the next question: Can we go back? Could there be a viable marketing (and legislative) campaign based on something like: "Responsible Lead Use: Better Products, Better Safety, Better for the Environment!" -- ---------------------------------------------- Gary A.
