    Back in the 1920s nobody cared about lead, and few even knew they should at all.

    The real question is why they haven’t replaced the lines by the 1960s (and again in 2000, and getting close to the next one…).

      They’re trying now. If they did nothing then you wouldn’t say anything. But now that they actually are trying to, you’re slamming them for it. That’s silly.

        You didn’t see my private conversations in 1996, so you have to take my word for it that I was slaming the phone companies that still had lead lines then.
