Is this one for real too? Or just a joke?

Subject: RE: [OBRA Chat] Serious Helmet Cleaning Issue
seriously, I do not disagree.
That said, the Clackamas flows into the Willamette just north of Oregon City, the Willamette then flows to the Columbia north of portland.
The amount of Crap (literally in portland, and figurative elsewhere) that we put in that water is pretty bad. I might equate my helmet rinse to the same amount of salt and minerals and if I had personally jumped in the river while sweaty.

PLEASE NOTE:
I am not certain putting your helmet in the river is an ecologically sound practice. I am not a environmental resource specialist so perhaps someone on OBRA who is could comment.
I think a better practice would be to make certain the waste water from cleaning your helmet enters the public waste water system so it could be treated prior to entering our rivers and streams. The only way to do this is by using your sink/tub/dishwasher at home or a certified wash system (e.g. carwash).
Also, I am concerned that if your helmet accidently freed from its mooring, it could be washed into a lake or ocean where smaller fish may become intangled in the helmet.
All we need to destroy bicycling is for an angler to catch a fish with a bicycle helmet attached to it like some type of crustacean.
