Buerk and Lewis deny their spying
This letter was sent on 6 February 1997 to me by BBC Viewer and Listener Information, in reply to a letter I had sent
them on 17 January. The letter says the BBC would "never engage in any form of surveillance activity such as you describe".
The BBC also informed me that they had spoken to Michael Buerk and Martyn Lewis, and that these two newscasters had
categorically denied spying on me. However, the BBC and these two employees have refused to put these denials in writing.
Needless to say, I do not accept the denials of the BBC and its employees. I think they are lying. Unfortunately I cannot
prove otherwise, and my attempt to "smoke them out" by suing them hit a brick wall.

Not to mention, they're really cheap when the staff's not looking!
People seem to get hung up on the sieve theory of filtration, which isn't
really what's happening here. If the dust hits a fiber, there's enough fuzz
and too little vacuum to have it go further. That's why you see a faint
trace of dust around where your smile gaps open the mask. Also why silt
precipitates in slow water.
Not to mention that dust particles have to enter into your nasopharyngeal
cavity, which is equipped with hair to cause turbulence, mucous to trap
anything, and cilia to take out the trash.
It's fumes, not cellulose you should be concerned with. Or in the case of
wood, the poisonous extractives the tree uses to fight off critters, fungi,
and bacteria that want to eat it. Dust carries or contains them.
Of course, these problems are not unique to lathes, and are actually much
less of a problem than with many other tools in the shop.

Basically, you are correct, fumes and "critters" are the bigger problem,
compared to "simple" dust, however, as someone suffering from
COPD/emphysema, I'll take every bit of protection from dust that I can.
While the nose is pretty good at filtering out the crap, it's not perfect
and if I'd been more careful in my younger days with using dust masks, I
might not have the COPD now...or at least, might not have it as bad or as
soon as I did.
Use a dust mask...it's not THAT hard to do, is it?
