we love helping homeowners and DIY'ers here at alt.hvac !!

if anyone gives you any crap about your post as a homeowner into the
alt.hvac group,
here is what to do, first highlight their message, then:

go to the menu bar at the top of Outlook Express and go to the menu item
named Message and then to the item that says Block Sender

now you won't have to listen to them pollute the group with their ugly
vitriol anymore!

is that cool or what?
