[MR] care with accusations Re: Pennsic Water Challenge

[Becky McEllistrem]

I know I have had Pennsic water before and while not what I've wanted, when you're hot in the middle of the field I know it never made me truly sick.

Are we sure that Pennsic water is what made people unhealthy and have documented it?  I ask because I worry that if we relate stories like that and they're not well documented with medical testing we could become the group that brings SCA into a slander suit with Coopers Lake Campground.  From what I understand slander suits are kind of expensive.
