I apologize for this posting, but a recent posting, not unlike some
previous postings regarding excess or equipment for sale disturbs me as
I would hope that it might disturb others!

I dare say that the majority of us work with grant money or other
educationally motivated funding which is intended to benefit us all.

Consequently, when I see postings, "advertising on ISOGEOCHEM,"
equipment for sale, and if it isn't sold it is "...going into the
dumpster..." parked in the driveway--well, I'm just sad.  Sad for the
publication of poor logic, sad for the threat of blatant waste of
equipment that might server a useful purpose....just sad!

Surely, on this site, and in our professional associations, we have
become aware of another worthy individual or institution which could
benefit.

Again, my apology!
