Robyn; My posting was based on "the "common comment" aspect, which comment
has no relevance anywhere I know of; it's not that the ink was lead *based*
(as white ink may have been then) but that *type* was made of lead once upon
a time. But Scott Pittman made the point that soy based, carbon pigmented
ink is certainly containing GMO's! So I can't use my organic gardening
newsletter to mulch my organic garden! Life is too funny.
