Hi folks,

I need to step in and *MODERATE* a bit here... <frown>

If I'm reading it right, we have several folks who are upset by the
quality of Duncan Crow's contributions. Specifically, Duncan has
posted diagrams or instructions for some equipment modifications or
designs that can be very hazardous.

Duncan has also mentioned some of the historical uses of silver in a
way that caused some confusion. Finally, he responded rudely to Robert
Bartell after the umpteenth time Robert jumped on him.

I have asked Duncan to take care to make certain that his contributions
are suitable for non-technical or uninformed persons. This means adding
*CLEAR* and *OBVIOUS* cautions and disclaimers where unsafe or 
dangerous voltages, currents, chemicals, processes or procedures are 
discussed.

This caution applies to *everyone*. Please be responsible, folks.

Robert Bartell: I need you to pull back a little bit in your pursuit of
Duncan. Don't read too much into his behavior, please, and, now that
I've introduced myself and you know that there *is* a moderator for
the list, work with me to improve things? Thank you! <smile>

In particular, he happens to be correct about the only "pharmaceutical
grade" CS on the market being a Mild Silver Protein product -- called 
Revive, or Invive, I think. At least, they're the only manufacturer 
I've seen that actually claims FDA sanction. I believe they are 
grandfathered because they're using a process that predates the FDA.

See:  http://www.escape.ca/~revive/

Keep in mind while you're reading their site that this company views 
*everything* else on the market to be inferior to their product if not 
outright *dangerous*. That is <ahem> somewhat of an exaggeration.

Lastly, I would like to remind everyone to be civil towards one
another. If you have a complaint or feel things are getting out of 
hand, please contact me in private e-mail, rather than disrupting the 
list. I *will* take your comments and feedback into account.

I read everything that goes out to the list at the same time as the
rest of you, so my moderation *follows* what goes on.  I've been having
a very busy time this week and got a couple days behind, so I was a
little slow to respond to this disruption to the normal tranquility of
the group.

I hope you'll continue to be patient and work with me to keep the
silver list a sheltered place where newcomers and knowledgeable
experimentors can freely discuss CS and related topics away from the
spammers, hucksters, disruptors, and debunkers. 

Be well,

Mike Devour
