"Please tell me which -one- of the following 5 news groups you would
have posted this question to then:

alt.hvac
alt.home.repair
alt.energy.homepower
sci.engr.heat-vent-ac
misc.consumer

Perhaps I could have dropped misc.consumer or alt.hvac, but even those
groups touch on the house-hold energy plants and energy-consuming
devices. And my subject was very descriptive, allowing anyone to
simply not read the post if they didn't want to.

I think it would be wise to focus on the subject of the post, and not
get an ulcer over the relatively small and focused distribution of the
post itself. "

Don't worry about the complaining about the cross posting or your
questions....there are *ssholes everywhere and they all come to Usenet
sooner or later.

Hang in there and be patient....you'll get your answer in time.

And oh...the USA is lucky to have a great neighbor to the North.
