RK,
Well, if you want to
parse words, what you actually said was:
"I've been heating water
for 3 minutes, or until it boils, in
a glass coffee cup for about 6 years now
and have "NEVER" had a problem.
All you need is a cup, water, microwave and
good common sense."
Notice you said "OR"
until it boils, not "AND" until it boils. In addition, you prefaced that
statement with "I agree, Tom", which, I assume, means you agree with his
post. If you'd care to re-read TFLan's post again, you will see
that he ridiculed this entire consumer
warning, suggesting it was a bunch of baloney, comparing it to the
McDonald's hot coffee law suite, etc. and ultimately suggested that I must
have no common sense. So, I assume you agree with
that.
I'd say it's pretty
clear to everyone reading what you thought of my post. Are you
changing your tune now?

Danny, Danny, don't jump to any conclusions, I was not jumping on
your response it was that I was just reading your post when I
decided to write my post. YOu will however notice I said
that I waited until the water "BOILED" in the cup before I removed it
from the Microwave???

Jeez RK/Tflan, I was only offering a simple caution
that might save someone
from injury, not trying to put down anyone's
methods. Take it or leave it.
RK, I respect your opinion, so when
I first read your advice as to the risks
of using a drill bit instead
of a reamer in certain situations, I changed my
methods. I did this
regardless of the fact that I had successfully been
using just a
drill bit for the past 7-8 years without ever sustaining any
kind of
injury. Just because it "NEVER" happened to me before, didn't
mean
that I rejected your caution that it could.
Before any of
you decide whether I know what I'm talking about, you might
want to
do a little research. I just did. Take a look at these links
before
you dismiss what I say. If you care to ignore it further,
well,
that's up to you too. I hope you wear glasses.

I agree Tom. I've been
heating water for 3 minutes, or until it boils, in
a glass coffee cup
for about 6 years now and have "NEVER" had a problem.
All you need is
a cup, water, microwave and good common
sense.

Does this mean I can't heat my cup
of water for a minute in my micro? I've
been doing that since about
1988 for my morning cuppa tea. Never had an
explosion. Guess I've
been lucky. Or perhaps Stossel is a whining wienie?
Seriously,
that's one of the silliest "consumer warnings" I've heard.
H2O
exploding? Come on! Remember the old gal who spilled a cup of
McDonald's
coffee in her lap and sued for a zillion bucks? Or the gal
who burned her
lip with a hot pickle slice from Burger King? Or the
lady in a wheelchair
who, while crossing the street against a traffic
light was hit by a car and
she sued the wheelchair manufacturer?And
they all won lawsuits? I and no
doubt millions of others have boiled
H20 in the micro with no untoward
effects.
What the hell ever
became of common sense?

A ferrule will need to be used. Currently it is very
