Have you looked at the actual stats? I believe NFPA has some good ones
showing 4,000+ residential gas explosions per year.


I'd sure like to see a URL. I did a search, including NFPA
web site, and can't find that stat.


You can't find something that isn't there....

Try again:

http://www.nfpa.org/~/media/files/re...sfactsheet.pdf

That NFPA site says the annual average for deaths due to combined natural
and LP gas accidents is 77, with an additional 287 injuries.
Contrast that with the Electrical Safety Foundation (just happened to
be the first credible site returned in a quick google search) which states
that home electrical distribution and lighting system fires are the
4th leading cause of home fires, causing about 50,900 each year,
averaging 490 deaths and 1,440 injuries.

So maybe we really should ban electricity from homes since it is so
much more dangerous than gas...

Or perhaps we do something intelligent like mandate gas detectors just
like we mandate smoke detectors? It's pretty sad that gas detectors have
been standard in the RV industry for years while they still aren't
required for residences using explosive fuels.

Perhaps because there have been so damned few problems it's not
economically justified. Idiot.

And there it is folks...krw's version of the hat trick.


And there you have it. The idiot DerbyDad shows what a moron he is by
defending another moron. The lefty morons do flock together.

He finally got all three of his favorite words into the thread: liar, lefty
and idiot.


Only because it's true. I can't help it if you don't like others to
be called what they are. He is a lefty, liar, and an idiot. You two
share a lot of attributes.

It was only a matter of time.


...until someone pointed out the facts of the case, sure.


Idiot. Find a post where I defended him. All I ever did was point the
errors that some folks posted. A few missed the words "annual average" and
claimed the stat was over a five year period. The stat was annual average
number over that period. Pointing out errors in other posts does not equate
to defending anyone. Of course, an idiot like you would have trouble with
that concept.


You still are.

I also pointed out that Doug claimed leaks were never mentioned when they
clearly were. He, unlike you, graciously admitted his error. You could
learn a thing or two or three or four from him. Of course, idiots like you
have trouble learning things, which may explain some of your habits.


You're a liar, too. No surprise, you're a lefty.
