This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Boil order protocol question. by The Holtz Room
As my domicile was just lifted from a boil water order (company laying fiber optic lines apparently didn’t have things flagged and hit a pipe on Wednesday one block over), it occurred to me I’ve never really paid attention as to what to do after one.
According to the Google machine, you’re supposed to let your faucets run for five minutes then your hot water for X min depending on the size of your tank.
Do you good people practice this?
I drank from multiple garden hoses as a kid and I’m still here.
Old Man THR would have just laughed at these suggestions…hope that’s not why he got cancer.
