[TheForge] Murphy strikes again. But fails!

[Mike Porter]

I'll second that! What constitutes too much safety is viewed very 
differently after having had a fire. My own fire was merely the garage going 
by by. I can't even imagine what it would be like worrying that your house 
may burn to the ground.
