John - I don't disagree with anything you said - and I too used to carry lead splitshot in my mouth - still find myself doing it sometimes just out of habit. I have often thought that the "anti lead" craze may be a bit of an overreaction. The only thing that got me really thinking about it was when my 3 year old started visiting the shop. I really don't know if there was any threat to her - but decided to go another route so that I no longer had to worry about it. It is just nice now when she visits I don't have to remember to wash my hands before giving her a hug. If you are careful with lead - and use the precautions you suggested - I'm sure it can be pleanty safe to use.
