Hi Folks!

As many of you know, all posts to this list are publicly
archived and free to search and view at;

http://www.escribe.com/science/keelynet/

Many people do not choose to subscribe but do check out the
posts periodically.
Some even write emails if they have something to offer or
want to share with the list.

One of these people is someone whose opinion I and many
others respect and he was somewhat disturbed with the recent
posts about electrolyzing salt water, and voiced his
concerns when he wrote;

> .....these absurd hydrogen posts are going to kill somebody.
> Electrolyzing salt water generates deadly chlorine gas.
>

and suggests it be clearly stated so that anyone who might
be tempted to experiment with any of these claims, be very
aware of the hazards;

> Posting a warning that electrolyzing salt water may liberate chlorine
> gas might be appropriate..

So I'm posting his concerns in the interest of safety.
