All,
Some months after my January 2002 post ( http://www.interesting- 
people.org/archives/interesting-people/200201/msg00179.htm ) , Griots  
switched from Halon to Halotron extinguishers -- Halotron of course  
is an EPA-approved alternative to Halon.  Contemporaneous with my  
1/2002 posting, I was in direct contact with Griots, and I was happy  
enough with the exchange that I continue to be a customer of their  
catalog.
And a note about archives.  Back when I was working this issue, I had  
multiple individual followups with list members and conversations  
with Griots.  At the time, I wrote a thank you note to Griots when  
they changed their policy, and notified a large number of people I  
knew would be interested. But figuring it would not be of interest to  
the entire group, I did not make another post to the IP list.  Thus,  
if one only looked in the IP archives, one might assume that Griots  
never responded.  This is something to consider in any future  
conversation posted to IP; namely, you are writing not just for the  
community today, but the community years from now.
