I agree, use good cells, but I think the lithium batteries blow up for fun urban legend is getting to be just that, an urban legend. To be sure, I use more trusted cells, but since the ultrafires seem to charge ok and last alright (no where near my other cells, but still acceptable) they are still in use. Just call me gords Norris… :cowboy_hat_face:
I agree that there is probably too much worrying over Lithium cells. So long as you are using quality products (ie. cells and chargers), verify they function correctly every now and then, and don't do anything really stupid you'll be fine. Problem comes when either people do stupid things (sometimes by accident I'm sure) or trust some really low budget crap to work right.

I used to be really scared of lions to the point where I would take lifepo4 16340s out of flashlights for storage, but after the incident with my DRY I am no longer as worried about them.
