As an fyi…Squam has the highest concentration of PCB contamination than any other lake in NH. I would rather swim in Winnipesaukee than Squam any day of the week! While skin contact is most likely not harmful, any ingestion of contaminated water is not good.

I think we agree on the central issues, so I'm confused as to why you're coming at me on this. No doubt the PCB issue was caused by one or more people in the community.

But I wrote the "community in general". I don't really count a single polluting company as as the community in general. This is similar to me not thinking of criminals as representative of the community in general.

I wasn’t coming at you and apologize if I came across that way…we are in agreement!

Maybe I'm too touchy on this stuff. Cheers
