Sigh.  Good grief, indeed.  I think this is probably at least  the  
20th time I've refuted this bit of misinformation on this list,  but  
no, it's not any truer than it was ten years ago or five years ago   
that cadmium has been outlawed in paint.   PY 35 and PY 37, the  
cadmium yellows,  are still made with cadmium, and PR 108, cadmium  
red, is still made with cadmium.
