	While I agree that it is presumptuous to assume that one countries
laws hold for all countries, I do not think it is completely pointless
considering the nature off this list.  This is a forum of people with
different skill levels, experiences and collected knowledge.  It would be
disasterous if a well meaning gentle  (not realizing that the origional
poster was working under a different set of laws) re-enacted an experiment
or project of another gentle and was penalized for it.  I do not think it
fair to moralize but I also do not think that neglecting to mention a
warning is necesitated.  Just as I appreciate warning about what spices
should never be combined so do I appreciate warnings about what practices
are illegal in what areas.  vive la difference
