The general storage protocol for diethyl ether, THF, etc. here in our 
department has always been in refrigerators for designed for 
flammables.  I am trying to educate the faculty about the hazards 
associated with the practice of refrigerating peroxide formers.  Any 
advice about what to say when confronted with, "...but I have always 
done this and never had a problem." 

Thanks in advance,
Sammye
