<div>Tzafrir,</div><div> </div><div>hi,</div><div> </div><div>without wanting to get off topic (Allwinner A10 ;-) : </div><div> </div><div>Normally I would agree with you, particularly after reading the rantings of scientific illiterates on a mission like one of our MP's in the UK Caroline Lucas (Green Party) ranting on about this issue (without any substance) by rote to suit her agenda (as one would expect of a highly priviledged privately educated individual with zero experience of the "real" world with a huge ego and mummy/daddy to smooth the way ;-) ). </div>
<div> </div><div>[p.s before someone asks what do i know ... i started out as a PhD Research Chemist many years ago although my speciality was anti cancer drugs]</div><div> </div><div>but on this particular issue the EPA study that i BELIEVE was used to gain approval for its use was flawed (alledgedly paid for by Bayer and other EPA scientists subseqently poopoo'd it) so if thats true then it should be immediately withdrawn on that basis alone.</div>
<div> </div><div>the other discussuion ive not seen is that of alternatives to it which is also important to consider in its withdrawal .. as if there are some (even if more expensive) then fine if there are none then that may be an issue in pest plagued countries/areas.</div>
<div> </div><div>hope it helps </div><div> </div><div>ian</div><div><em></em> </div><div><em></em> </div>
