[MR] care with accusations Re: Pennsic Water Challenge

Sat Jul 16 14:37:19 PDT 2011

The "funk" in the water is just iron salts.  I live with a well and I 
know for sure that you can have water that is perfectly safe that is 
also unpleasant. A water filter can get out a lot of it.   I think that 
lawsuits over people's health are also expensive and I don't think the 
Coopers are stupid.

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.
