I prefer to buy US made products where I can, but if I needed drywall
urgently and there was a shortage as there was when this stuff was
mostly used, I'd consider it.

Okay, you'd consider it, but would you install it?

With not only the value of your home but your family's health at risk, would
you install *any* product that had raised alarms as to its safety before
knowing for sure if it's safe or not?

You know those register receipts that print out rebates automatically?
Probaby will print out a Chinese Drywall real estate addendum.

Of buy toys which probably contain lead in their paint, because the Chinese
find it inconvenient to adhere to safety precautions which are common in
developed countries?

My friend has been building a house doing most of the work himself now
for about two years. The other day when he opened up a hole in the
drywall it smelled stongly of rotten eggs. The odor disipated fairly
quickly. Is this typical of Chinese drywall?
