Default Help! -caustic soda overdose.

Its that ridiculous interface that the web site mentioned is using to read
the group as if it was a web forum, I doubt anyone is even aware that the
group is older than the web portal itself.
Its a great pity the powers that be cannot stop this sort of interface
being used to inject mail into the usenet system until it complies fully
with how things are displayed.

I thought it would be a good idea to put a little caustic soda down the

caustic soda granules seem to have congealed in the trap and blocked it.
Would be a big job to get to the trap. I've tried a plunger, and tried
neutralising with spirits of salts (NaOH + HCl H2O + NaCL, ie salt
and water). -still no joy. The drain hole has a white disk a little
below the opening which prevents direct poking.
Any ideas?

B
An acid such as brick cleaner. Not too much.
Or vinegar.


People get fooled by April 1st jokes and the penny usually drops after
an hour or so. You've taken four years to answer this one and still
the penny hasn't dropped! LOL!
