David,
no confusion here. Listserve focus is on nature not human safety. Atrazine
article deals with human safety concerns not biodiversity.
If we want to take a stand on pesticides it would be for their biodiversity
implications of which there are tons. Roundup is an example but there are
many
showing impacts of other pesticides on native bees and other pollinators.
