Hello

I have made an astounding discovery regarding
the freedoms we enjoy in the West.

This has been the case well before 9/11; the initial impetus may have been attempts to curtail manufacture of illicit drugs, and another reason may be liability concerns in our increasingly litigious society (viz. - lawsuit frenzy). Also, as others have pointed out, a lot of these companies aren't set up to deal with tiny orders from the likes of you (and me) - it really isn't economical for them. As one other person pointed out, Sigma is a real pain to deal with, but if you saw some of the other substances they sell, you might understand their position. Try the small online companies; I've had good luck with Cynmar (www.cynmar.com), but I don't know if they sell reagent grade NaCl.

There is no need to see a conspiracy in all of this. Maybe you, like the current Washington administration, is excessively paranoid. There are workarounds. Now if only I could figure out how to get a small amount of Chloral Hydrate to make a stain for mycological identification. Sigh.
