why do I have arcing going on in my basement during lightning strikes?
Q. I saw arcing from floor to oil line running across floor.I have since covered the oil line but still hear the snap of an arc during lightning strikes.

A. The only reason can be that your oil line is carrying some of the energy of lightning. You see, people think that lightning strikes as a unique bolt but that is not true; it comes as several paths and some carry only little energy. That's why some people survive a lightning's trike going through their body. But, to come back to your oil line, you should first find out why it is working as a receptor then see how you can prevent it to be dangerous. Covering it won't help. Earthing is will help but then, it will also invite lightning. I have the same problem with the mast of my sailboat. Statistics show that if lightning is to strike within a radius equal to the heigth of my mast, it will hit it. If the mast is grounded then it will be in… [cont.]

Three strikes and your report button is out?
Q. Most people agree Yahoo's report policy is not working. Maybe we could petition Yahoo to change it? Here are a couple of suggestions: 1/ Reports are reviewed quickly (within 48 hours) and fairly (by a human rather than computer) 2/ People who make false reports are cautioned twice and for a third offence have their report function suspended for a month ( 3 strikes ). What other changes do you think would help?

A. Sounds good to me, except that for it to work I think the criteria for reportable posts needs to be changed. It's actually against the rules to be insulting, apparently... whenever you have a rule like that you're going to have people clogging the report system because they feel insulted over everything. So get rid of that, and make it so the only things that are reportable are spam, threats, and potentially dangerous posts (such as posting someone's personal information). And then sure.
