Pretty obvious really, its not as bad as the myth claims.

Just another urban myth. Never happened.

Nope, its an implosion.

Zero in fact. Like I said, they're designed with very thick
glass for a reason, so some stupid kid wont end up dead
when it manages to slam something into the screen etc.

Nope, its nothing like the risk that is mindlessly hyperventilated about.

Wrong.

Waffle.

No thanks.

No you dont.

Your neurotic fears are your problem.

Irrelevant to what is likely to happen when removing
the tube to use the cabinet for something else.
And I already said that it makes sense to let the
vaccuum out by snapping off the glass tit thats under
the socket on the extreme end of the neck tube.

Perfectly relaxed thanks. I call spades spades and stupids stupids.
You get to like that or lump it.

Wrong again.
> Not a risk I'm personally willing to take.
Your silly neurotic fears are your problem.
Always have been, always will be.
I choose to provide sensible information and if
some fool comes unstuck, thats that fool's problem.
You get to like that or lump that too.
