Your post has a distinct political air about it. I'm not arguing for or against McCain as a presidential candidate. I don't like his position on steroids, I don't like his position on supplements, I don't like a lot things he's done. Voting for DSHEA was common sense. He's peeled back his support of it ever since and especially in 2003. So no, I don't thank him for anything.

Yes, I know the new laws (like S. 722) don't ban them, but they can
effectively ban them under certain conditions.
Okay when you said that you have never sold prohormones, you meant you have never sold steroids dressed up as prohormones.
I don't see McCain as much of a threat on the supplement front, actually. The FDA already has the power to ban particular supplements if it really wants to (under DSHEA). I don't think it's a priority for him.
Yes, I am sure DSHEA was commons sense to you. Common sense is a funny thing. The people who voted against DSHEA probably did not think it was common sense.
