Dan,
No, but I think someone else wrote the water injection feature, and you then cut and pasted THEIR words and claimed to write it . Don't think I didn't notice .

To be fair to Dan here Mike, it only says "words: Dan"

It doesnt say "words written by: Dan"
and it doesnt say "words blatantly stolen by: Dan"

So it can therefore mean either
