We've been discussing silver fillet brazing on the framebuilders' mailing list lately, and one fellow just posted that "Thanet Silverlights were pulled from the market due to a high rate of failure, and the brazer's in that workshop were excellent." -His point being that silver fillet brazing is too dangerous, if even excellent brazers couldn't make 'em safe.

Is this true? Any Thanet experts want to comment?
