[C320-list] Fresh water head-flush plumbing

[crashley at gte.net]

Maybe I'm just lazy, but that still sounds too complicated to me. I can live 
with the occasional smell of our fellow earthling micro-organisims. If I 
really feel the need for a fresh water flushing system, maybe I'll get a 
bigger boat.
