 I had produced a graph which showed use and accumulation on PEI and held it
up under my head throughout the whole news interview after my presentation,
but it was NOT shown on TV because the lawyers at CBC (our national public
television station) head office did not stand up to the lawyers from the
Bayer company.

I now have a little more info, and it was not quite so dramatic as I
portrayed.  Bayer raised complaints about the validity of my persistence
data, and the reporter did not have sufficient time to get all my
documentation to the CBC's lawyer so that he would allow them to run with it.
The document I had pulled the half life figure's from (R9701 from the Pest
Management Regulatory Agency  "potato soils... 266 to 457 days" I used one
year) was not available to the reporter.  So I should not fault our CBC for
an otherwise good story and apologize if I portrayed them as gutless.
