Sorry to gripe here, but the misuse of the word "inflammable" is silly and
can be dangerous. The prefix in- is a negation when applied to a root
word, examples:

inhospitable = not hospitable
insecure = not secure
inadmissable = not admissable
...
inflammable = not flammable

Rubbish! Webster [or any other]: Inflammable 1. Flammable 2:
Easily inflamed ...

OK flame away.

Or...as I say..."Ah! a NEWSGROUP!"
