Dude, WHO is the sorehead? You are embarrassing yourself. Again.

I'm sorry that you have so much trouble with this concept. Since you yourself asked "What does "to replace ozone depleting Halon 1211 mean?", I will try to help you out.

The manufacturere's statement "TO replace" is future tense. It reflects the manufacturer's BUSINESS MODEL and DESIRE to capture some share of the Halon replacement market.
YOUR ill-informed and under-researched statement "HAS BEEN replaced by Halotron" is past tense and implies that the event has already ocurred. This is simply untrue.

In fact, while I have found documentation that Halotron is approved for replacement of hand-held units on airliners, for example, said replacement is not mandatory. I personally have found NO, repeat NO reference stating that Halotron has been approved for onboard suppression of engine fires. Although I'm more than happy to be referred to a reference stating such.

Either way, Halon is STILL being manufactured, sold, refilled, and used (present tense). Even if you could make all of THAT untrue tomorrow morning, Harley, Halotron will be but ONE of the manufacturers competeing to fill the void.

Your statement "has been replaced by Halotron' is just quite simply untrue. It was YOUR idea that readers "google it". If you're not diggin' being contradicted by the facts then you should be more careful what you ask for.

ROTFLMAO
