The reason I've always read about for using cold water for boiling is that
hot water has been sitting in the water heater for some period of time, and
in addition of course, it has been heated.  It is not as "fresh" as cold
tap water.  This is especially important in making coffee and tea.  But then
again, this could just be a myth, I've never seen or heard of a scientific
test to verify this belief.
