[sdiy] Resisting UberDIY

[epeasant at telusplanet.net]

This may be a good time to remind people that solder 
contains lead, a deadly poison. You should always wash your 
hands after any contact with solder, and do not put it in 
your mouth or near open wounds for any reason. Solder fumes 
are also extremely hazardous.

Exposure to lead causes cumulative mental degradation and 
over long periods of time may make one intolerant and 
disrespectful of other people's ideas and perspectives ;-)

Oh, and BTW Paul, I am not British and I do not reside in 
England, maybe you should visit my website some time. And 
no, my life is not one of quiet desperation, but is rather 
one of joyful fulfillment while circumventing mainstream 
cultural bullsh*t.

Take care,
Doug
