Carl,
I think everyone understands both of our positions so I won't bother taking
up any more reflector bandwidth on the subject beyond this message; but no,
I'm going to stay right here on my pedestal calling them as I see them
unless you can convince the moderator to block responsible opposing views.
Wikipedia is not the source, it just summarizes the data. There are plenty
of links to the referenced materials for you to check out yourself. There
are plenty of other places to look for information as well.
It's all just evidence. You can't prove anything, just like you can't prove
smoking causes cancer. But if the EPA bans it, making it illegal to
manufacture and sell in most applications, I see no reason to take an
unnecessary risk with it.
I'll admit, I'm a little too conservative for some people. I have to be in
my line of work. I always err on the side of safety. Those who don't end up
getting sued, even if they just gave the customer what they insisted on.
You're twisting my words again. I never said you intentionally try to
physically hurt anyone. I don't see any need to repeat what I said yet
again.
