[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 5689751, member: 31216"] (Emphasis mine.) I didn't see mention of any OSHA documentation. I read that a doctor said he contacted OSHA, but that's it. I don't approach all articles with immediate skepticism, but when I read an article that gives only hearsay, it brings out the doubter in me. The article presented virtually no facts, at all. I mean, if an article talked about the danger of an particular street intersection in town, and didn't present anything but the impressions of what people said about the intersection, wouldn't you wonder why no facts were given about how many accidents, or the amount of traffic, or something? As someone who has written articles, and even been the secondary subject of an article, I guess I just notice vague weasel-wording easily. "Some people say there have been many accidents...," is not nearly as convincing as, "Police reports show there have been 15 accidents..." Articles on our Moon visits offer more than just, "People who work or used to work at NASA have told us they sent manned missions the the moon...." Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
