He's not obsessing with the first post in this thread - if nothing else, that should be clear from the simple fact that he is discussing the dangers of hydrogen, which isn't even mentioned until the fourth reply to this thread.

And no, I shifted nothing. There is plenty of mention of other gases, if you look at the entire conversation. The intial post was not the entirety.

Actually, you did shift the conversation a bit: you were the first person in this thread to mention combustable gases other than Hydrogen. The other materials listed include: Oxygen (gaseous oxidizer under Standard Temperature and Pressure), carbon dioxide (non-flamable gas under STP), water (liqud under STP, non-flammable), and gasoline (Liquid under STP, flammable) [Edit]geckomlis mentioned a few others that I missed, all solids under STP[/Edit]

Since you know what a hyperbole is, you should be able to recognize that the post you are obsessing over was indeed a hyperbole. I exaggerated it to make a point. It was not written as an end-all, beat-all statement about hydrogen being perfectly safe. You seem to think it was, when it certainly was not.

Funny - I more read Tbontob's Posts as him taking exception to you making fun of Pheonix-D's response that worse things could have happened in Tesco's area than some cut phone lines.

And actually, it would be a relatively simple matter for a broken hydrogen pipeline to cause some serious problems - all it would take is for the Hydrogen to diffuse into the air slightly before encountering a source of ignition.

Besides, even if it just causes a fire, accidental fires usually cause more serious problems for people than broken phone lines usually do.
