I suggest that when responding to a message that one
investigate how to send the response without including the
original posting. I get the digest version and the often
see the same message (often a LONG one) repeated several
times with comments like "I agree wholeheartedly." Some
software packages are unwieldy or uncooperative, but most
have a feature that allows replies that do not include the
original message.

Subject: PVC Bans
According to 4/98 Plastics in the Environment: "Spain has opened
another round in the war over soft PVC in toys by formally applying to
the EC to ban its use in toys throughout the EU under the General
Products Directive of 1992, as an emergency mesaure to 'limit the risk
of phthalates in toys for young children'." ... [R]umours also
abounded of there being talk within the EC of withdrawing some PVC
toys from sale because of safety concerns arising out of the recent
report on the subject by the EC Scienitic Committee on Toxicity."
