From: "C P Services", [EMAIL PROTECTED] I cannot believe that the Messrs Isaac & Waller are so naïve that that they can con the membership of BASC into personally blaming John Swift with the lead ban. Even if you dislike John Swift he is only the spokesman for the BASC Council and as such is only allowed to do what his employers tell him to do. After all lead is a known poison and has been banned in paint, pipes and countless other applications. We all knew that a lead ban was inevitable but BASC worked tirelessly in ensuring that when the ban was instigated it would have as little impact as was practicable. The vindictive way that Messrs Isaac & Waller have attempted to vilify John Swift and disrupt the BASC organization suggests an alternative agenda. The important questions that must be asked of these Quislings is : * What is there secret agenda ? * Which anti organization is financing them ? * What is there personal relationship with BASC in the past ? * What do they intend to do after they have destroyed BASC ? In the very improbable event that we get answers to these questions we might be able to come to a conclusion. In the mean time I will continue to trust them as closely as Tony Blair and LACS. -- Actually lead is not usually poisonous in most shooting applications as others have explained at length before.
