Rob I think your comment is uncalled for and inappropriate, and would've been better kept to yourself.
Deimos has his reasons for taking the cautious approach, and I can understand why. There have been instances in the past of a vendor threatening legal action because of what was said about them in this forum. Maybe a state of blissful ignorance is great for most people, but other times, there are very good reasons to be careful what you say.
Sending an email is one approach, actually trying to find out if they ARE illegal is another. Everyone talks about them being bad, it's great that someone is actually doing some research to find out if they are illegal. If they're not, then they should be.
They can't really be compared to knives - knives have another purpose (cutting food). Eyepiece solar filters are for one purpose, looking at the sun. They're clearly not fit for that purpose, are very dangerous, and any vendors selling them should be made to stop.
Finding out if they're illegal, and then reporting it, is a very good way of stopping vendors from selling what could be a very harmful device.
