Well thank you Susan, of course you are forgiven - You're a true Mudcatter.

You are right about the uphill battle. If you look at the first message you will see that the original topic was '...A MEETING TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF NUCLEAR WASTE DISPOSAL'. If we can't even DISCUSS the problems without people jumping all over us, then as flattop says the problem WILL stay with us for 250,000 years.

and flattop, the people that die every year from pollution from conventional power stations - are dead FOREVER.
