If a poster posts a post of questions from the NACHI exam without explanation, then the poster posting is

A. Fishing for answers
B. A confused ASHI guy
C. Just plain dumb
D. All of the above

Ok, I'll bite. Yes, go ahead and test those bleeder valves, especially on the lower levels of the building, and more especially if they look a little rusty. Bring a mop.
