Shut off gas if leaking?

[Jeffrey R. Jonas]

Brian, I agree, (but no buddy of mine).

What you don't see, is his post #50, was completely revised. In that post, he attacked me and my business personally, at which point, I did a quick info gathering search of him, and jumped his sh*t in return. I then walked away from the thread, until today. I see that his post was edited, mine got deleted, and he went back and edited his opening post. You can pick-up on the inconsistencies if you carefully read all the comments.

I have to applaud Realtor Jen for not being the usual kiss-arse, and pushing him for an explanation.

I won't offer my thoughts (yet) of the iNachi inspector's comment, that jumped on the OP's bandwagon.

• Unplug the refrigerator when you find out the outlet its plugged in to is missing a ground.
• Call the fire department when you find a defective or missing smoke detector.
• Turn off the water heater when you find a draft hood mis-aligned.
• Call the state health dept. when you find probable asbestos.
• Post hazard warning tape around a deck you consider unsafe.
• etc.
• etc.

OK that was the "STUPID" answer I was looking for!

They say there is no stupid question. Well, sometimes I don't know about that!

Thanks Joe!

If your so Damn stupid to shut off the heater and freeze the 90 year old lady, you need a sign around your neck warning everyone what a stupid *** you are...

Do you people not get out there in the "real world"!?

If you smell gas, turn it off and NOTIFY some one!

Can I use any less words than this?!

Why does the gas company put that stinking crap in gas that has no odor?
TO LET YOUR SORRY *** KNOW IT'S LEAKING!
