It sounds like you focused too much on all the naysayers.
There were a number of people Lars and myself included that though and said much in support of your post.
I was looking at some of my newer hoses last w/e and everyone of them said "NOT FOR DRINKING WATER" on the grip next to the faucet connector except for the hoses I bought specifically for drinking water.
There's always going to be people that don't care about the health of themselves or others that may drink their beer. Don't let a bunch of naysayers get to you. You'll never know how many people your post may have helped.
I was hauling gal. jugs of filter watered outside and wondered if I just let the water run thur my hose if it might taste OK. Like Lars no matter how long the water ran it still tasted like "GARDEN HOSE" I wouldn't use nasty tasting water in my beer even if there was no potential risk. But you know just like some people can't see well, some folks can't hear thunder. Some people don't have much of a sense of taste either.
Like anything when you deal with the general public you'll have to deal with a certain amount of A$$ Holes. There are also a bunch of really helpful and nice folks here too.
