This is only probably true. In Silverton we have fairly pure water, despite
the mining and all. In Albuquerque, well I wouldn't use it. It also has to
do with the amount lost over time. It's not a good idea to use tap water,
but it's not all equal either. Topping up coolant is an occasional
requirement, but more than say a cup a year and you've got a leak, and
problems.

It's his second. He's so used to getting news accounts shut off he's
already lining up substitutes, such as Giganews and Google.
So he's already lost at least three accounts:
*** - nuked*
Teranews - nuked
Motzarella - nuked
*this only refers to the news account; he apparently still has the email
account. Of course, it's also possible he didn't lose the news account
but is actually afraid to use it because he knows he'll risk his whole
account in doing so. Even if that's true, it's essentially nuked.
