I don't know if I am the only one bothered a bit by this but I log on today and notice two new posts on a PF user's blog which are about making explosives. One entry is about a "Battery Bomb" and the other about making black powder. I just would like to bring the attention of the people in charge. It's up to them to decide if this is acceptable.

Regards

Thanks for your quick response.
