- I've thought for a while that the widespread practice of
- setting the water heater temperature down to 120 (or even
- lower) is unwise because such temperatures encourage lots
- of microorganisms to flourish. My preference would be to
- keep the water as high as possible, and then (should a baby
- take up residence in my house) simply keep uninformed tiny
- people *away* from hot water faucets.

- Am I alone?
