The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains
these words:

I took the liberty of putting Cereus-validus' contribution in a
place
where the logical flow of the conversation is maintained a little
better than by top-posting.

Are you on mains sewage or a septic tank, Franz? Do be careful.

Neither, but as a matter of fact I do live in a village in which the
main drain to which I contribute effluent has a section with no fall
at all. Once in a while we have a real problem with sewage bubbling
out through the manhole covers.
