I was reacting to the original post's ironic link to Japanese press coverage of mercury in whale meat:<BR/><BR/>"Your search - whale mercury source:the_japan_times - did not match any documents."<BR/><BR/>I removed the "source" restriction and searched again, and came up with that "consumerfreedom" nonsense high among much other disinformation -- almost all based on funding in opposition to the draft controls on power plant particulate and mercury emissions, I gather). <BR/><BR/>'Information flak' -- vast amounts of chaff, scattered to confuse and overwhelm any targeted search.<BR/><BR/>But I forgot my /irony on/ and /irony off/ flags.
