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.
