Re: You can't just wash that asbestos right out of your bed

My, my, my...
This ng is for the benefit of people who need advice in engineering-safety.
Walter has been a valuable contributor to this ng for many years, and has
the knowledge and experience
as a safety professional and engineer to know when a contributor is
scaremongering or actually disseminating
valuable information.
We are all aware now, that asbestos is dangerous to our health and we all
are aware that it is still in use
in various parts of our lives, such as building materials, as insulation, as
a compound in brake shoes etc.
There is nothing new about that. Nor is Walter disputing the fact that
asbestos is a dangerous substance.
What Walter (and I) object to is the scare-mongering in the original post.
In mho Marc seems to be nothing more
than a troll who is hell-bend on insulting his fellow man.

"Hey, isn't historic preservation just grand! Let's preserve
all the toxic stuff to pas son to our grandchildren so we can
say we so nobly resisted urban "sprawl"! Don't tear those toxic
antiquities down! We want to keep on breathing them!
Isn't urban affectation, grand! But then again, if you're
reading this, you don't know, because urban luddites
hate the internet because it keeps them from experiencing
the stimulation of urban cockaroach life!
And speaking of cockaroaches and pidgeons and rodents,
your smaller fellow urban vermin (that you inevitably eat),
they make nesting material from asbestos and spread it all over.
Yes, you do eat them - they are everywhere in your
beloved sprawl-less city! And when your office moved, did you see
the debris-strwen sidewalk they parked your files on?"

If Marc, as it seems wants to develop inner-city slum areas, rather than
have them
"restored" he has my blessings, but is this the ng to spread his message?
It is a piety that this ng has been used by trolls. I sincerely hope it will
cease. This ng and
the sincere contributors, such as Walter, perform a very valuable service to
the
community at large.

My say.................
