[Milsurplus] [armyradios] re: radium and eBay

I couldn't agree more, John.  If we had to qualify every potential risk 
from the things we sell or swap, we might as well hang it up...the 
caveats would run for pages and pages.  EPA we are not.  I seem to 
recall some folks saying they had their auctions terminated because of 
such things, even though the offending words or potential risk was far 
less than the risk of a traffic accident on the way to the supermarket.  
If Hue wanted to be safe, he could spray the front panel with a clear 
fixative.  That's what most people do.
