I just installed a Ceiling fan in my bedroom and everything ok went fine
until I tryed to hook the wires up. From the outlet box all I have is two
wires Black (Hot) and White (neutral). So I hooked Ceiling fan wires
Black
and Blue to the Black wire, and the Fan white wire to the outlet box
white
wire. So What to do with the green ground wires? Well I had no place to
put
it so I hook it up to the White neutral. It works just find, Neutral and
Ground is the samething right? I don't want to burn my house down.

You hook all the wires to the green. They are all the same; don't know
why they are different colors and names.

I've been following this alt.home.repair for many years. There used to be
very competent people here willing to give correct advice to novices. Slowly
the group changed and the wiseguys came and chased the good people away. If
someone asked a legitimate question there were 10 people ready to jump on
him and ridicule him. The above reply from was completely
uncalled for. A novice asked a serious question and this idiot Toller tells
him to short all the wires out. No wonder all the competent people left.
They didn't want to have to compete with complete, stupid idiots like
Toller. And Toller, you're just one of many idiots that have diluted and
spoiled this group. I hope one day in life you have to ask someone a serious
question and they asnwer "Go screw yourself".
