Bull****.

and even outside heating season they seem to be at least
monthly. Gas simply isn't safe for residential use, and is even
dangerous in industrial settings - recall the gas pipeline explosion in
CA, the gas explosion at the power plant under construction in CT, a gas
pipeline explosion under and apt building in NJ I think it was, etc.

Do some research before you blurt out statements like "Gas simply
isn't safe for residential use, and is even dangerous in industrial
settings." Give us some facts, not opinions. Nothing is 100% safe.

Just ignore him. "Pete C" is a well-known Usenet kook who happens to have a "thing" about
the supposed grave hazards of natural gas. He's been spouting the same garbage for
years. Hardly anyone takes him seriously.
