Nope, you got it -- glad to see you're not just a Turing machine.
I just happen to think it's important right now to identify who's
REAL and who's not. I've actually learned a lot from your posts,

I'm about 100 gallons into this home brew game and quite
addicted.  But there's the environmental issue tht I hear many of
y'all turning over, methanol is pretty nasty, ethanol a bit more
friendly.
   I have been told that I can recover almost all of the methanol.
is this right.
   Then who has made a still.  I am pretty ready to start one out of
the 40 gallon hot water heater tank.  NIce closed system with heating
elements already in it.
   Has anyone made a still and how much are they recovering?  Can you
use the methanol indefinately?
Also I've heard of someone needing to 'get rid' of some ethanol
that's not pure.   catch is they are only selling 1000 plus gallons
anyone wish to go in on a tanker full?   what are the risks?
  thanks   bowlcole

Re recovered methanol, from the archives:

I've used and re-used about thirty gallons of methanol so far using
my hot pink vacuum still.  At first I was worried about recovering
water at the end of a run, so watched the condensate closely for any
sign of cloudiness. I've never seen any.  I don't think water can be
recovered from the byproduct at anywhere near the boiling point of
methanol.

Sorry, Mike, I didn't make it very clear, did I?  I've used much more
than 30 gallons in processing fuel.  In total, I have recovered and
reused about 30 gallons.

There's quite a lot more about this in the archives if you search around a bit.
