More to the point, there might be three or four molecules of Radon in
any vacuum tube, hardly cause for a a major panic. Did anyone forget
that the whole point is that it's a *vacuum* tube? Not too many
molecules of *any* gas in there................

Bother. I was hoping to convince people to send me their
radon-infested vacuum tubes for "proper handling." Now you've given
away....Wait!!! There's thorium!!!!

People, there is a radioactive material in many tubes called thorium
that can actually CREATE radon in a form that is even more radioactive
and MORE DANGEROUS than the normal kind of radon found in the average
home!!! And anyway thorium itself is radioactive! It emits
radiation!! Did I mention that these tubes contain radioactive
thorium? What's more, one of the precautions for storing thorium is
ADEQUATE VENTILATION! A tube containing thorium IS NOT VENTILATED AT
ALL!!! It is sealed, with all that radioactive thorium just cooking
away in there, doing who knows what mischief.

Send all your power tubes to me --- not all of them contain thorium
but you might as well be safe, some of them contain a few atoms of
radon --- and I will deal with them appropriately.

On another note, I'm hoping to get a large windfall of nice power
tubes in the near future, especially ones with thoriated tungsten
filaments, and will sell those of them that I can't use to the highest
bidder.

Grammar alert! You must *not* use the words think and homeopathy in
the same sentence!

Well how about "works" and "placebo" then?

That's the same as the "Microsoft Works" oxymoron ;-p

The placebo effect is pretty well documented. How else could homeopathy
work?
