    • Manufacturers/Industry:    

         Recently Superconductors.ORG wrote several maufacturers regarding their position on RoHS. None of them responded. A second batch of letters were written. And again, none replied. Such behavior is not only rude and unprofessional, it is unacceptable. As such, Superconductors.ORG will no longer provide free links to manufacturers. This policy will remain until the industry adopts an attitude of courtesy and accommodation toward the public.
