<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And how exactly would you certify that you had
cleaned up the spill successfully if you do it on your own? Aside from
the documented and obvious health risks from exposure, what future legal
liabilities do you open yourself up to from a spill on your premises?
What happens if you later sell you home without having hired a professional
for cleanup, and the new owner discovers mercury levels due to your
negligence? Yes, this is what I want in an electric bulb.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, this is getting way off topic, but
putting lipstick on a pig doesn't really do all that much to fix it up. Here's
what the Peoples Republic of NJ has to say about it:</FONT></DIV>
