[TheForge] Cheap Autodarkening Welding Helmet.

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

I need to send the note to Discovery Channel, not the forge.  Watched 
three shows in a row where it was needed.  American Chopper, while two 
guys  tacked  items for probably a couple of hours with no helmet or eye 
protection of any kind other than squinting.  Followed by Monster House, 
where the welder was wearing a helmet, but was surrounded by un 
protected onlookers, and finally Monster Garage where one of the team 
was doing overhead welding with no helmet.
