Hi Tony,
As I said earlier I don't have a legal background, but still three little words are the problem for me: Defamation, Libel and Slander. Unfortunately Australia is starting to follow trends set by other countries and spending more time in the courts than outside in the sun.
I think we all agree that solar/sun eyepiece filters can be very dangerous when misused, but that doesn't make them illegal per se. Knives and cars are very dangerous when misused, but they aren't illegal either.
If solar/sun eyepiece filters are actually illegal I'd like to know what makes them so (whether that be legislation or a "banned goods" import list) before asking the dealers to stop selling the products.
Someone else here must agree, otherwise snowyskiesau's post which named one of the dealers would not have been removed.
Deimos.
