Dumbstruck:
What about the laundry room(s)?
When you have to shut off the water to some of the apartments to do a repair, are the laundry rooms also affected?
Can you advise the tenants affected by the water outage that they can get hot and cold water for cooking and cleaning (and refilling their toilet tanks) from the laundry room sinks?
alt.home.repair is not a "google group" anymore than it's a "homeowners hub" group. Both have pirated our content for financial gain. Some of us who *give away* our time and experience to help others strongly resent the fact that scoundrels are *profiting* from our labors, by repackaging it for distribution via the web. The hub is not there to help you. It's there to make money, by selling advertising, period.
USENET is NOT a web-based forum. You do not legitimately get here with a web browser. Now go do your homework. Start by googling "usenet" so that your ignorance doesn't become something that you end up foolishly defending.
I guess I must be here illegitimately too because I've been here for a long time and use only a web browser for access. I don't see why some folks have to get their shorts all in a knot about how others make their posts.

Oh, THAT'S what you mean........OK well, go buy a 3/8" x 3/8" compression fitting valve like I posted earlier and another 3/8" faucet supply hose. Use vice grips with metal strips or something else to cover the serrated jaws so the water line isn't damaged, and pinch off the line. Disconnect the supply line from the faucet. Take the compression nuts & ferrules off the new valve and discard. Hook the old supply line to one side of the new valve. Hook one end of the new line to the other ned of new valve, and the other end of new line to the faucet. Remove vice grips.....
If that's the case, then you've proved my point. You don't know jack s*it about usenet.
to what my last post was about, and no desire to find out. There's nothing more I can do.
While I disagree with almost everything else Smitty is ranting about, his last post is pretty accurate. Read it again. He was only replying to the one sentence he quoted from you, not your entire post...

On second reading, I guess I had completely ignored Smitty's actual wording= and just gone with the point he was trying to make, which was that expecti= ng USENET to be a civilized place (especially on an unmoderated board) can = only lead to disappointment and sorrow...
