But that's not a sensitivity. It's reasonable to be cautious about the effects of a radio transmitter held against the brain. If it concerns you then countermeasures are simple: a earphone/microphone cable, run through a ferrite core with a few twists to defeat any radio frequency signals. The inverse-square law suggests that transmitters which are further away -- wifi, radio base stations, etc -- aren't a concern for disease. They might be a concern for a sensitivity, but that's a very generous statement. The sheer number of people suddenly claiming a sensitivity after so many years of mobile towers makes me doubt on the condition. -glen _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
