I never said silver was toxic you dolt. Go re-read your high school
chemistry textbook.
Take a minute to consider the fate to which you consign others, rather
than just your own convenience, before hitting the 'reply' button.
Peruvian miners are dying so you can indulge yourself.

Are you a garbabe man? You state this as if it is a fact, when it is
nothing more than a fabrication made out of whole cloth. Cites please.

Obviously, "for what you do" you are going to use whatever you damn well
please. But spare a second's thought for the Peruvians that die so you
can indulge your anachronistic fetish.
I hope you are appreciate my treatement of the "proper noun"; I wouldn't
want any Peruvians to feel they were being slighted by their small "p"'s.
Thank you for magnanimously volunteering to correct my grammar.
