Ed, I agree with you, and don't favor censorship.
My thought, perhaps poorly expressed, was that the moderator might, at
minimum, want to be very sure that dubious and potentially dangerous
information does not pass by without some response.
There is a great deal I don't know about chemistry and related topics
and terminology. For example, I would think nicotinamide, a necessary
nutrient, would be directly related to nicotine, a deadly toxin, but I
am told (by a respected MD I know) that it is not so. Similarly,
I'd think Vaseline petroleum jelly would be toxic, but I read the
inventor of the stuff took a tablespoon a day and attributed his long
life -- past 90 -- to the practice.
On that note, then, I am willing to be educated if someone can tell me
that the petroleum distillates in WD 40 are not harmful.
I wouldn't take a chance on it myself; I'd bet on liver damage and
possibly carcinogenic effects. That's why I replied.
Best,
JBB

JBB, I think it moves your point that we should have
discussions like this so that truth and reality are exposed.
People and good intending folks should freely hear and
discuss all matters including urban legends. I find it
commendable that someone fires a warning shot when they
suspect another is not acting reasonable. We should not be
afraid of discussions, and opinions, no matter how long
winded, boring and irrelevant I may think they are...

I think that our excellent moderator, Mike, might want to
keep a close
eye on discussions of this kind, for exactly the reasons you
site
below. I can not image anyone using a product with
petroleum
distillates on the skin for medical purposes, and
particularly not on a
routine basis. We need to be careful about discussions of
this kind,
which should go on the Off Topic list.
