Canadian Ballast Rocks Caution

In the mid-1970s, Blair Chasty and I picked up some Canadian Ballast
Rocks from Killarney (near Sudbury, Ontario), for decorative use in his
exotic fish shop.  His store-front window was a massive aquarium.  After
placing the rocks in the tank, he went home for the evening.  The next
day his display consisted of a large number of dead fish.  Were it not
for the statute of limitations, he would be holding you liable, John
Winters.  Please stop peddling your environmentally toxic products over
the net.  Your certificates of authenticity are fraudulent, for instead
of selling Canadian Ballast Rocks, your are foisting Canadian Blast
Rocks from the slag heaps of Sudbury.  Shame on you.
