You lack respect for other human beings to start with.
Then you seem to mistake modesty and caution for lack of knowledge or
experience.

Then the fool
compounds his folly by concluding with a statement about polluting the
oceans as if one sailboat or all the sailboats in the world combined, for
that matter, make one iota of difference when it comes to "polluting the
ocean" with their bottom paint.

Then you continue to show no respect to other beings.

Calculate the volume of water in the oceans of the world and divide by the
totally insignificant amount of bottom paint toxin leeching from yacht
bottoms and it amounts to perhaps one drop of mercury in the Great Lakes. As
if that's gonna pollute anything at all.

On you go with your pseudoscientific brabble.
Man eg needs 2 micrograms of cobalamin per day - without that you will
die.
Yearly production of copper based paint in comparison to total ocean
volume is about the same 1e11 relation.
Which means the concentrations may well reach biologically active
levels, especially since distribution is not uniform.
Fish eg are well known to change from the antibaby-pills in the sewage.

Time for you, Marc, and all the
other environmentalist nut cases to get real with your irrationality.

If you had taken the time to search eg PubMed, you would have found
studies that prove you wrong. Try appropriate keywords and you will find
articles in Biofouling, Journal of industrial microbiology and
biotechnology, etc.
Try this eg:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/en...4938&cmd=showd
etailview
Plus: What has not yet been proven is not necessarily false, if you know
logic. Sometimes it is just lack of funds to conduct a study.

Global warming has been dismissed by some of the same arguments - by now
it is well proven.

I do not mind you get the facts wrong - and conclusions are debatable as
well.

I will not however continue your mud-slinging disrespect ill suited to a
generally helpful newsgroup.

Take care

Marc
