[blparent] clarification on a cloth diapering question

[Michael Baldwin]

Not every time if you don't' want to, but the pre rinse in cold helps to
keep stains from setting in, if your concerned about that.  It also helps to
rinse out any extra poop that might have been missed, or that stuck to the
diaper.
