	Sure.  No sweat.  However, I do have a "similar" query I'd like to
    propose (although being fairly new to the net myself, I've no idea if
    it has been recently covered.  I doubt it, so I shall proceed).

    Q:  What is the "proper" term for those stainless-steel/porcelain objects
	built into walls, or free-standing in parks, which, when activiated by
	turning a nob/depressing a lever/whatever spew forth a trickle/torrent
	of cool/superheated water for people to drink/spray at each other? I
	have heard them called "water fountains", "drinking fountains",
	"bubblers"(but only in Wisconsin, which should NOT be the
	"Dairy State"), and sometimes, although incorrectly, "hydrants."
	A hydrant is a different object altogether, if you care.  Any ideas?
