Thanks for clearing that up, Ed. I stand corrected as the article I
read on it last year was clearly taking a more alarmist view. It's
reassuring to have more positive information. I have got more
disciplined about using a mask, but it's in the air, all over my
workshop all of the time anyway, so it's hard to avoid dust
altogether in this business.
From what I'd read before I felt like we were all ticking time
bombs ;o) What a relief to know there haven't been any cases of
silicosis so far!
