Re: Swatch kills RoHS

Hello Graham,


The other puzzler is the press. I am surprised how silent the European
press is about RoHS all that. In the US they'd be all over the
bureaucrats by now.

The press hasn't a clue about technical things.


Here the press does. When they smell a rat they quickly secure some experts and get to the ground of it. Being first to put the finger into the wound sells a lot of papers.

There is another reason why press and news services are often better in the US: Feedback. I wouldn't know any TV station that doesn't have a clearly outlined channel for viewers to "snitch". And when you write to an editor you get a response. A couple weeks ago I did and had a detailed reply the very next day.
