[SML] Gas or Electric for Dryers

[Richard Niederberg]

Dear Carla,
Note:  You want the lint to leave, so don't exhaust it in your laundry
room. Treated lint is the primary component in dynamite; The nitric
acid has to have something to absorb it, when packaging the dynamite
sticks for safe handling.
