You are making my point for me. First off, it's one thing to have a
discussion about a process on the internet without resorting to flaming
the topic out with the usual "you'll die" and "blow up your neighborhood".
We could say discuss nukyaler power plants without being warned to
watch what you say kuz the guvernment will kick your door in or that
it's dangerous, the vast majority of us already know.

The boilers of Diesels era were dangerous mainly because material improvements and methods were pretty basic, like riveted tanks.
Most of the boilers I'm interested in are monotube types like the
ones in Dobles cars, relatively safe and not likely to have a catastrophic
explosion with one. By discussing ideas we all become safer and more
intelligent about the world around us. If you guys aren't interested in
discussing unusal things so be it, it's all on the web anyway. Theres not
much activity here lately, maybe I'll find somewhere else more friendly to
hang my hat.

I give up. I couldn't care less what you or anyone else does. Go for it.

Once you've led them to the water they may think it is only to drink.  What a great site.
