Perhaps the forum had an effect.
If so....that is an excellent thing.
The forum has had a genuine effect on PPD many, many times. PPD is
going to be extremely difficult to eliminate, and will take relentless
persistance, in all forms.

I've spent an enormous amount of time since last year's Sirius Rising
working to stop PPD additions to henna (when we agreed on a mandate
that "something must be done", and that I would go after it.) I
would have gotten precisely nowhere without Jeremy's Rowntree's Henna
Page and the dedicated forum participants. Thanks to everyone here who
posts, writes, and gets involved. I don't see much fault in being
passionate about shutting down PPD, even if there are judgement errors
along the way.

Because many people here are passionate about henna, and do not want
to see this art form ruined by the stupid and greedy ..... the
cumulative efforts of the group have made a world of difference in the
fight to inform people about PPD. That's something to be proud of, and
cooperation between people here is needed to keep going.

I'll grant, that (quoting from the post a few days ago)
" (xxxxx black henna purveyor) is getting more hits" (yes, probably)
"and purchases"(highly unlikely)
"because you fools" (I'll grant that I, personally, am a fool,but
please do not paint these other good people with the same brush as you
do me!)
" are posting so much about them " (where, precisely is the harm in
posting?) .

Considering the way search engines pick up on these posts, and they DO
stay here forever .... I think it is prudent to post when there is a
problem! Therefore, anyone picking up the post years down the road
will see that though there is a black henna source, it is found by
most to be highly objectionable! This is a good thing.

If one PPD slinger is deterred, that is an excellent thing. If one
physician gets informed and can provide appropriate treatment, that is
an excellent thing. The more posts that accumulate on PPD, the easier
it is to persuade journalists, lawmakers, artists, the FDA and the
powers that be to take the PPD problem seriously!

"Post" isn't just for breakfast anymore. It does a body good.

And I, for one, have no problem with being a fool. We rush in were
angels fear to tread.
