Old thread that should be removed. OP is a real prize. Congratulations buddy. Now go away. Please.

Makes me chuckle when a new member of a forum tells a well respected member to take a hike. And its especially hilarious when the well respected member is a moderator.
We see life differently. I enjoy reading this forum, the responsiveness of everyone here, almost universally positive, typically in good humor, and always generous, is truly inspiring. You may very well fall into that category as well on other posts, but this one, well I didn't see it. I don't monitor (clearly) the names here- I am a noob poster after all as you correctly pointed out. Your thread seemed insensitive to those who may not have the same writing skill set as yourself. I don't intend to beat anyone up over their grammar or spelling acumen (and yes, there are some atrocious errors!). Thus my comments back to you. Sorry to offend your sensibilities, you did add a red disclaimer afterall (though in smaller font!) as I started here, we see life differently.
Cheers!
Quick question guys. In the original post, it says "Fermenter (not fermentor)." I looked that up a while back and as a result have been using "Fermentor" to describe a fermentation vessel. All of the definitions that I've found state that fermenter refers to the microorganism that carries out fermentation and fermentor refers to the fermentation vessel itself. So is the information that I found wrong or am I just missing the point of the original post?
No, I think the vessels we ferment in are called fermenters. A quick look on the interwebs confirms that - manufacturers and sellers of these vessels call them fermenters.

Yes, and something that ferments is a fermentor. Like if someone is tormenting you, they are your tormentor. "or" at the end of a word is generally the agent doing something.
I think its fair to say fermenter as fermentation vessel is a common usage. Apologies to White and Zanisheff. I'm not sure which dictionaries they are referring to, but not, apparently, the Oxford English dictionary http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/fermenter?q=fermenter
