This is posted with the hopes that those...

This Alert is designed to increase awareness of MSDS limitations, so that first responders can take proper precautions, and identify additional sources of chemical information, which could...

You know, sometimes we need to have our efforts validated. I put myself out there on a daily basis to try my best to educate those who are willing to listen to my ideas and rationale. I take a lot of hits and it gets to me every once in a while. But with over 20,000 faithful members and subcribers I can always count on one of you to pick me up, dust me off, and slap the @#$% out of...
