At least one of my moderators thinks I over-reacted to your thread on bleach.

I'm not sure, and am going to have to think about it, but I am sure that I probably didn't make my reasons as clear as I should have, and that I probably created an impression that cleancloths was wrong to even ask the question. This is not what I think. So in that least, I was in error.

But, the question itself is of a nature that I've long preferred not to allow, fearing lest PoolForum become a sort of price-shopper's guide for pool owners. For multiple reasons, this is something I don't want, not least because I've seen 'price-shopping' for chemicals become an end in itself, and end up at odds with my goals that pools be inexpensive AND easy.

I'm going to have to think about it, before I decide what to do. Given all the other things going on a the moment, it will be awhile before I have time to consider it, and make up my mind.

Still, whatever I do with this thread, it will remain true that I want to discourage attempts to use the PoolForum as a 'price-shoppers' guide. But it's evident that I need to explain my reasons more clearly than I've done before.

Meanwhile, please do not take my response as a personal criticism of cleancloths.

Thanks,

Ben
