I do apologize for using this term. It was never intended as a personal
ttack against anyone on this list.
My post was to offer several alternative ways to bend copper tubing without
inking.
Sincerely

 Hi Paul,
 
 I too greatly resent this name-calling. Unfortunately, the 
 political climate of the past decade has made the trashing of 
 legitimate scientific concerns that they politically disagree 
 with, a socially acceptable tactic among some emotionally 
 stunted parties. 
 
 Stay Rational,
 Matt D
 
 
 Hey Moderators,
