Toxic smeg?

It's the lubricating fluid from the retro encabulator in the machine leaking out.
Resmed significantly reduced the size and increased the performance of those. Bet you didn't know there was on so close to your bed!

Smeg was the substitute cuss word used on the British sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf.
The censors were unable to justify bleeping it out, even though it phonetically came off
as quite disgusting.

Ozone can cause premature yellowing of silicone maybe that’s the yellow smeg but I am guessing rather than anything scientific

Overheard on IRC: Exactly, two SoClean users, same orange crap. One has the attitude of lesson learned, I should have listened to you guys. The other has the attitude of you guys are a bunch of asses and then uses more products from the company that is harming him.

The germophobe force is strong in some people I guess. So strong it overwhelms common sense.
You know what I always say....somethings you can't fix and ------ (fill in the blank with word of your choice) is one of them.
Shrugs and moves on.
I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

Germophobia is on the OCD spectrum.
OCD is being promoted by SoClean--intentionally made worse by the advertising.
Can anybody say, "tort"?
There will be test cases--the time has come.

. . . The germophobe force is strong in some people I guess. . . .
Sometimes I lie awake at night and worry about how to avoid becoming infected by the thinking of the germaphobes.
One conspiracy theory is that "friends" of FauxClean-buying germaphobes all take turns sneaking in at night to paint reddish-orange gunk on whatever will most disturb their "friend."
Not sayin' I buy into that theory. But, well, I haven't seen any photographic evidence to prove otherwise. Just sayin'. Or typin'. Or whatever.
If anyone asks, I was never in this thread.
Thanks.

Not making any accusations, but could somebody's "friend" be dusting their NoClean with Cheetos dust?

When I started CPAP in 1999, no such thing existed. Since I never got a CPAP borne illness (as far as I know), I didn't think I needed to waste my money on that. That was based on the assumption that the machine did nothing at all or did something superfluous. Now I'm learning that it's doing something actively bad. I'm so glad I didn't listen to everybody.
Mostly, it was people who I know who heard the commercial on radio or TV and then called me!

Amen.
Just don't ever let anyone take you out of context, D.H.
You just do
you, man. I mean, you can go your
own way, no matter what the other band members say about how you play your prophetic songs, Lindsey Buckingham . . . :

Totally different, even though they do both end in 'tor'.

They'll probably glare when you're out of time/sync/tune though

So far, people seem to be going pretty easy on Neil Finn and Mike Campbell, since it would probably take at least three or four people and an Antares Auto-Tune to even
start actually to replace Mr. Buckingham. A lesson, much like SoClean, learned the hard way, which should serve as a warning to other bands. . . . :
